Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Help me. ASAP. PLEASe. So, I know that proteins are made by ribosomes, and ribosomes are packaged and sent to the Golgi complex by rough er. What other things aside from proteins are made and distributed through the cell. Thanks.

Hello and welcome to Science Buddies! While it is true that there are proteins distributed through out the cell there are also many other things, however it generally depends on the type of cell what things are distributed and moving throughout the cell. For vacuoles water, “food”, and waste is circulated along with other materials. Chloroplasts capture energy (sunlight) and makes food or glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Lysosomes use acids to break down waste. And of course there is normally water.
Hope this helped!
