Why is Spiderman in a cave jail? I don't know! But he knows what organelles are:

Specialized sub-structures of the cell that serve a special function

Provides internal structure and mediates intracellular transport

produces energy (ATP)

the "power plants" of the cell

Manufactures proteins

Protein modification and export

Transports materials between organelles

move the cell or move liquid past the cell

The capsule helps prokaryotes cling to each other and to various surfaces in their environment, and also helps prevent the cell from drying out

Semi-permeable and selective barrier surrounding the cell

"the gatekeeper" of the cell

Provides support and mechanical strength; prevents excess water uptake

The "security fence" of the cell

Breaks down excess or worn out cell parts.

The "garbage trucks" of the cell.

Store and transport materials within the cell

holds the components of the cell and protects them from damage

Site of photosynthesis

Stores genetic material (DNA), dictates what other organelles in the cell do.

The "city hall" of the cell.

Store various molecules including enzymes, waste products of the cell, water, and even food material depending on the type of cell.

The "landfill" of the cell.
