Golgi apparatus is an cellular organelle which is involved in in the modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell as they are the site of chemical reactions that transfer energy from organic compounds in ATP. Vacuole is a membrane bound organelle and filled with water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in solution. Vacuoles might store food or any variety of nutrients a cell might need to survive. Grana are a stacked membranous structure within the chloroplasts of plants and green algae that contains the chlorophyll and is the site of the light reactions of photosynthesis.
