- The large, central, light-blue organelle is the vacuole, which stores water and other substances.
- The green, oval-shaped organelles with internal stacks are chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis.
- The red, oblong organelles with internal folds are mitochondria, which generate energy for the cell.
- The yellow, circular structure with a dark center is the nucleus, containing the cell's genetic material.
- The pink, folded membrane network surrounding the nucleus is the endoplasmic reticulum, involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
- The blue, stacked, flattened sacs are the Golgi apparatus, which modifies, sorts, and packages proteins.
- The small purple dots scattered throughout the cytoplasm are ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized.
