protein synthesis happens here

Mitochondrion

Is called the "power house" of the cell and releases energy
through respiration

Plasma membrane

protects cellular contents , mediates entry and exit of substances

Centrioles

organizes cell division

Nucleolus

Ribosome synthesis

Nucleus

houses most of cells DNA

Rough ER

proteins exported from cell

Smooth ER

lipid synthesis occurs

Golgi Apparatus

packages proteins from rough ER

Nuclear membrane

surrounds nucleus

Lysosomes

transports final products of digestion into cytosol
