Can you help me with my homework?

answer the ones you can please! =)

i need to put the correct organelle that performs the following functions:

* serves as a pathway for the transport of materials throughout the cell; also associated with synthesis and storage.

* serves as the control center for cell metabolism and reproduction.

* sites of protein synthesis.

* involved in the digestion of food within the cell.

* involved in cell division in animal cells.

* give the cell its shape and provides protection; not found in animal cells.

* hair-like structures used for movement. (not the flagella)

* during cytokinesis, the new cell wall that begins to form in the middle, dividing the two sides.

p.s. thanks in advance! =D

    -vesicles

    * serves as the control center for cell metabolism and reproduction.

    -nucleus

    * sites of protein synthesis.

    -ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum

    * involved in the digestion of food within the cell.

    -lysosomes. just to note, the vacuole is only in plant cells and it stores metabolites and maintains turgor pressure

    * involved in cell division in animal cells.

    -chromosomes...not sure though

    * give the cell its shape and provides protection; not found in animal cells.

    -cell wall

    * hair-like structures used for movement. (not the flagella)

    -cilia

    * during cytokinesis, the new cell wall that begins to form in the middle, dividing the two sides.

    -cell plate (in plant cells since you said cell wall, but in animal cells, its called the cleavage furrow since there is not cell wall)

    You need to do your own homework. The reason I know the answers to this list of questions is because I figured them out myself. You can't learn if someone else does the work.
