1. Ribosomes

1.1. Found within a cell that function to synthesize proteins.

2.1. They break down lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. They're the digestive system of the cell.

3. Vacuoles

3.1. They fuse to form a single organelle as the cell grows.

4. Chloroplast

4.1. They work by capturing energy from the sun to make food for a plant.

5. Mitochondria

8. Cytoskeleton

9. Nucleus

9.1. Acts like a storage within the cell.

10. Endoplasmic Reticulum

10.1. makes polypeptides which then fold into the proper shapes to make proteins.

11. Golgi Apparatus

11.1. It is one of the main sites of carbohydrate synthesis, but the most important roles is the gormation of lysomes.
