vesicles that contain substances that digest excess or worn-out organelles and food particles lysosomes
organelles made of microtubules that function during cell division centrioles
energy generators that convert fuel particles into useable energy mitochondria
organelles that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis chloroplasts
