The Nucleus contains most of the genetic information for making proteins

The ribosome is the place where the polypeptide strand and the mRNA meet in order to create a protein

Nucleolus has a role in the biogenesis of the ribosomes

RER -intracelular transport and protein making because of the attached ribosomes

SER-intracelular transport,lipid synthesis and it is the place where the glicogen is metabolized

Golgi Apparatus has a secretive role

Lysosomes contain 40+ hydrolytic enzimes that help with intracelular digestion

Cilia and flagella both help with the moving of the cell

Extracellular matrix keeps the cells together

The Mitochondria sythesizes ATP in a process caled oxidative phosphorylation of organic substances
