Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms.
(At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, gradually developing into a mitochondrion. Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles).

Nucleus – known as the brain of the cell

Cell membrane – gives protection to the cell and helps holding together the organelles

Cytoplasm – jelly-like substance that holds together the organelles.

Endoplasmic Reticulum – consists of smooth endoplasmic reticulum which lacks ribosomes, and rough endoplasmic reticulum which has ribosomes.

Ribosomes – consists of RNA and protein enzyme and helps in protein synthesis

Mitochondria – known as the powerhouse of the cell and helps transport energy all throughout the cell

Golgi Apparatus – gather proteins and lipids in the cell and distribute it.

Centrioles – releases spindle like formations that is attached to the cell in one of the cell division stages

Lysosomes – helps breakdown larger molecules to smaller molecules
