Plasma Membrane | The boundary of the cell. It holds things together and it controls entry and exit of substances. |
Nucleous | Contains genetic material, which is also known as DNA |
Cytoplsam | |
Ribosomes | Synthesize proteins |
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | A series of tubes which are used to transport inside of a cell, as well as the production of lipids and carbohydrates. |
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | Used for transportation as well, but it is rough in appearance because of the ribosomes on it. It is also used to synthesize proteins. |
