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