| endoplasmic reticulum | A series of canal-like structures. Can be smooth or rough depending on whether it is associated with ribosomes or not. |
| nuclear pores | Surrounds the nucleus. A double phospholipid bilayer, it has pores in it through which RNA leaves. |
| cilia | Used by the cell for motion. Often seen in large numbers. |
| flagella | Used by the cell for motion. Usually only one or two per cell. |
| centrioles | Used by animal cells for cell division. |
| microtubule | A protein resembling a straw used by cells to support structure or move. |
