658762633Condensing vesicles?vesicles that comes from the golgi to destination28
658762634Where do lysosomes originate from?golgi29
658762635What do lysosomes contain?digestive enzymes30
658762636What do the lysosomes do?help digest food & digest old cell debris31
658762637What does the mitochondria do?generates energy32
658762638True/False: The only place where DNA is contained is in the nucleus.False, DNA is also contained in the mitochondria & chloroplasts33
