| 5387753454 | lysosomes | (animal cells only) vesicles from Golgi with hydrolytic enzymes; break down material in cytosol for recycling; low pH |  | 16 |
| 5387753455 | peroxisomes | animals: breakdown H202, fatty acids, AAs; plants: modify by-products of photosynthesis |  | 17 |
| 5387753456 | mitochondria | carry out cellular respiration; two membranes allow separation of metabolic processes |  | 18 |
