1. Cell membrane: Regulates what enters and exits the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
2. Endoplasmic Reticulum: Synthesizes proteins (rough ER) and lipids (smooth ER); transports materials within the cell.
3. Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins by translating mRNA.
4. Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
5. Lysosome: Breaks down waste materials and cellular debris using digestive enzymes.
6. Microtubule: Provides structural support, facilitates intracellular transport, and aids in cell division.
7. Mitochondria: Generates ATP through cellular respiration, providing energy for the cell.
8. Nucleus: Contains DNA and controls cellular activities including growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
