| Nuclear Membrane | Determines what enters and exits the nucleus -Selectively Permeable through, porous (tiny holes) in membrane of the nucleus |
| Nucleolus | Builds (synthesizes) ribosomes -found in the nucleus |
| Ribosomes | Protein Synthesis (Makes proteins) |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Transport system for materials in the cell -Smooth ER no ribosomes attached to it -Rough ER has ribosomes attached to it |
| Mitochondria | Produces energy (ATP) for the cell -Site of Respiration -The powerhouse of the cell |
| Vacuole | Stores food, water, and wastes products |
