The three correct answers that help with energy production and waste removal to keep cells working well are:

1. **Mitochondria turn glucose into ATP energy** - Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, converting glucose and oxygen into ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.

2. **Lysosomes break down old cell parts** - Lysosomes contain enzymes that digest and recycle old cell parts and waste, helping to maintain cellular health.

3. **Chloroplasts make energy from sunlight** - In plant cells, chloroplasts convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis, producing glucose which can be used for energy.

While the nucleus and ribosomes have important functions in the cell, they are not directly involved in energy production or waste removal.
