Lysosomes(Clean up

crew for the cell)

Organelle which recycles waste, worn out cell parts, and food molecules. Quickly breaks down a cell when it dies.

Nutrient: carbohydrates

Source: potatoes, pasta, rice, bread, fruits & vegetables

Why its needed: energy for cell, to make cell parts

Nutrient: lipids

Source: fats in butter, oils, nuts Why its needed: stored energy for

the cell to use later, to make cell parts

Nutrient: proteins

Source: meat, fish, eggs, nuts and beans.

Why its needed: makes up the structure of cells and cell organelles. Also helps perform chemical reactions in cells.
