I am the command centre of the cell, I contain instructions

Nucleus

1

Ribosome

Build proteins/protein synthesis

1

Proteins and lipids are being sent to the incorrect parts of the cell

Golgi apparatus

1

Which organelle, is present in animal cells but not in plant cells?

Lysosome

2

In animal cells, made from phospholipids, contains channel and carrier proteins

Cell membrane/plasma membrane

I am the post office of the cell, I modify, package and direct proteins and lipids

Golgi apparatus

2

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Synthesise (build/make) lipids
