Final Answer:
Cytoplasm — gel-like substance inside a cell that maintains its shape (called the cytoplasm)
Nucleus — contains the organism’s DNA and controls the production of ribosomes and proteins
Mitochondria — produce ATP from broken food molecules and share it until needed; commonly called the “powerhouse of the cell”
Golgi apparatus — creates protein and has attached ribosomes
Cell Membrane — thin outer covering that separates the contents of a cell from other cells and regulates passage of materials in and out
Vacuoles — membrane sacs within cells; serve as storage units for various materials
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum — these flattened sacs aid in sorting proteins produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum — lacks ribosomes and aids in modifying proteins synthesized by the rough endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome — contains digestive enzymes that break down unnecessary components of the cell and has the ability to kill bacteria that attack the body
