Document Summary

Peroxisomes: small organelles that are specialized to compartmentalize toxic peroxides and they break them down to get rid of them. Vacuoles: found in plants and protists, they are filled with aqueous solution and they are used to store waste and pigments. Forming turgor pressure within the plant: this is pressure exerted by the water to maintain the plants rigidness. Will store food and digestive enzymes to help break down nutrients. Helps freshwater protists eliminate excess water and maintain the proper salt balance. Cytoskeleton (non-organelle: performs 3 main things. Maintains the shape and provides support for the cell. It will provide tracks for motor proteins that help move materials within the cell: 3 major components to the cytoskeleton. Dealing with the cytoplasm and you are mixing it up so you can redistribute it. Movement of the cell fluid inside of the cell: they form pseudopods.
