2. The organelle that breaks down fuel and releases energy is the mitochondria. Through cellular respiration, mitochondria convert nutrients into ATP, the energy - currency of the cell.
3. Lysosomes break down food, waste, and worn - out parts. They contain digestive enzymes that can break down various substances.
4. The cell membrane regulates what goes in and out of the cell. It is a selectively permeable barrier.
