| Structure | Function |
| Nucleus | controls rest of cell's actions; contains the genetic information of the cell (DNA) in the form of chromosomes |
| mitochondrion | provides energy for the cell |
| endoplasmic reticulum | synthesizes lipids and proteins |
| vacuole | helps with intracellular digestion and acts as storage for the cell |
| centrosome | produces micotubules that are involved in mitosis and in producing cilia and flagella |
| golgi body | packages macromolecules for transport throughout the cell |
| chloroplast | contains chlorophyll and is involved in photosynthesis |
| peroxisome | protects the cell by breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen |
| cell wall | provides and maintains the shape of prokaryotic and plant cells and provides a protective barrier |
| cell membrane | controls what enters and exits the cell |
| cytosol | the "soup" that all the other organelles reside in; it contains proteins which control the cell's metabolism |
| ribosome | synthesizes proteins |
| secretory vesicle | packages cell secretions such as hormones and neurotransmitters and carries them to the cell surface for release |
| lysosome | involved in cellular digestion |
| flagellum | helps the cell to move |
| nucleolus | produces ribosomes in the nucleus which are then transported to the endoplasmic reticulum |
| cilium | plural is cilia; it works with other cilia to move the cell |
