Cell Membrane

Controls what enters and leaves

Nucleus

Contains DNA, information for the cell

Ribosomes

Uses instructions to make proteins (protein synthesis → makes proteins)

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Helps process and transport proteins

Golgi Apparatus

Modifies, sorts and packs the proteins

Proteins are sent where they’re needed

Mitochondria

Aerobic respiration (cellular respiration)

Creates usable energy for cell

Lysosomes

Contain enzymes to break down waste/material

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Makes lipids (fats), helps detoxification

Centrioles

Helps with cell division
