My name is Ann [436]

And the rough mainly synthesize proteins which are basic components of life. Proteins are sent all over the body and are used for many functions. The golgi is used to package those proteins and send those proteins through the body. Mitochondria creates energy and is the power house of the cell. And the plasma membrane is like the gate keeper. Decides what can enter it exit the cell and prevents harmful things from coming in. Allows proteins to leave.
