Mitochondria: To carry out cellular respiration.

Vacuole: to support the cell.

Nucleus: It contains the genetic material.

Chromosomes: They contain DNA.

Ribosome: To make proteins.

Endoplasmic reticulum: Transport of proteins to the Golgi complex

Golgi apparatus: Modification of proteins according to its specific function.

Cell membrane: to protect the cell.

Cytoplasm: The watery fluid where all the organelles float.
