nucleus

Contains the DNA blueprint for the cell; Controls the cell’s functions

nucleolus

Produces ribosomes

cytoplasm

Semi-fluid area within cell membrane that contains all the organelles and is the site of the metabolic reactions

endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Involved in protein and lipid synthesis; Protein folding; Ribosomes are embedded on the rough type

ribosomes

produces proetins

Golgi apparatus

Packages and folds proteins received from ER

vesicles

Membrane pouches that move proteins and other materials around the cell

lysosomes

Degrade old and worn organelles, some of which are then recycled; Break down macromolecules

peroxisomes

Break down toxic materials in the cell such as hydrogen peroxide

mitochondria

Produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP

cell/ plasma membrane

The phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell
