How many types of organelles there are in a cell partly depends on what kind of cell it is (e.g., plant cells have chloroplasts, but animal cells don't). In general, however, most cells would have a nucleus (some have several smaller nucleoli as well), mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, Golgi apparatus, and many have lysosomes.

This depends on the cell type and species, but in most mammalian cells you have:
nucleus: contains DNA, and is the site of trancription to RNA
endoplasmic reticulum: RNA translated to proteins, new proteins are folded into 3d shapes
golgi apparatus: sorts and modifies proteins, acts like a post office sort of
endosomes: take up material from outside of the cell
lysosomes: break down (digest) unwanted materials
mitochondria: produce energy for the cell by respiration
there are also subtypes of endosomes that are involved in recycling of components as well as subtypes of lysosomes but these are the major ones
