1. Nucleolus - Site of genes for RNA synthesis. Assembles ribosome's
2. Nucleus - Control center of cell. Directs protein synthesis and cell reproduction
3. Ribosome - Sites for protein synthesis. Reads RNA code and translates it into an amino acid sequence
4. Vacuole - Stores water, sugar, ions and other substances
5. Rough ER - Has ribosome's. Proteins are synthesized here.
6. Golgi Body - Packages proteins for export from cell. Post office of cell
7. Cell Membrane - Provides protection and import and export of the cell
8. Smooth ER - Packages proteins for cell transportation. Detoxify drugs in liver cells . Lacks ribosome's.
9. Mitochondria- Power house of cell. Provides ATP for cellular energy
10. Lysosomes - Digests worn out organelles . Packages of digestive enzymes
11. Cytoplasm- The material inside the cell that surrounds the organelles
12. Peroxisome - Produce hydrogen peroxide because they use oxygen to break down molecules.
13. Centriole - Helps the chromosomes to separate during cell division.
