The nucleus holds the molecular DNA for the cell
Mitochondria are the cells' power sources. They are found in most eukaryotic cells and convert orgainic materials into energy or ATP.
The Endoplasmic Reticulum function to go through protien synthesis. It can be rough or smooth but only the rough contain ribosomes.
The golgi complex is found in most eukaryotic cells. It primarily is to process proteins targeted to the plasma membrane, lysosomes or endosomes, and those that will be formed from the cell, and sort them within vesicles. Thus, it functions as a central delivery system for the cell.
The cell membrane is a permeable bilayer. It controls what goes in and out of the cell with the use of receptor and cell adhesion protiens.
