| Cell wall | connects the cell to other cells and protects the cell in plant and bacteria cells |
| Mitochondria | Makes energy for the cell in eukaryotes |
| Golgi Apparatus | Modifies proteins (re-packaging them) in eukaryotes |
| Ribosome | makes proteins from mRNA and tRNA in all cells |
| Smooth ER | makes lipids and breaks down toxic substances in eukaryotes |
| Rough ER | transports proteins in eukaryotes |
| Lysosomes | Digests and recycles used cell components in eukaryotes |
| Cytoskeleton | Holds cell together and keeps the membrane from collapsing in all cells |
| Chloroplasts | used for photosynthesis in plant cells |
| Vacuole | Stores water and other substances in eukaryotes |
| Nucleolus | makes ribosomes in the nucleus in eukaryotes |
| Nucleoplasm | the liquid in the nucleus that holds the DNA in eukaryotes |
| DNA | the molecule inside the cell that contains information on replication in all cells |
