a power plant
a post office
an assembly line

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria are known as the power - houses of the cell. They break down sugars through cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP.
2. The nucleolus is the site of ribosome biogenesis within the nucleus, creating new ribosomes.
3. The Golgi body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell, similar to how a post office sorts and distributes mail.

Answer:

1. To break down sugars and produce energy
2. It creates new ribosomes
3. A post office
