Nucleus - regulates all cell activity, and also holds the DNA
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - lipid and carbohydrate synthesis.
Rough er - produces and modifies proteins
Located next to the nucleus
Golgi apparatus - modify, sort, and package macromolecules for cell secretion
Ribosome - assembles the twenty specific amino acid molecules to form the particular protein molecule
Mitochondria - converts energy into compounds that are easier for the cell to use
Chloroplast - captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into food that contains chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis
Lysosomes - breaks down, recycles macromolecules (lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins)
Perioxisome - where hydrogen peroxide and other harmful molecules are broken down by enzymes
Plasma membrane - controls the kinds and amounts of substances moving into and out of the cell; helps maintain cytoplasmic volume and composition
Cytoskeleton - structurally supports, impacts shape and moves cell and its componants
Centrioles - two perpendicular cylinders that form mitotic spindle fibers and microtubules for cilia and flagella, helps organize cell division
Cytoplasm - holds all organelles in place
Vacuole - stores water, salts, protein, and carbohydrates
Vesicles - contains substances that recently entered the cell. Stores and transports newly synthesized molecules.
Cell wall - supports and protects the cell, rigid barrier
