Cell Organelles

Cell Membrane/Plasma
Structure: It is located in the outer area of the cell
Function: Protects cells from the outside environment.
Both
Nucleus
Structure: This cell organelle is found in most eukaryotic cells.
Function: Used to carry genetic information.
Both
Nucleolus
Structure: The nucleolus is a spherical object inside the cell nucleus.
Function: Produces ribosomes.
Both
Cytoplasm
The jelly-like substance that fills the cell. It is the substance of the cell and works to keep all the cell organelles together.
Centrioles
Centrioles are organelles that are only found in animal cells, they're used to help the division process of a cell. The processes are mitosis and meiosis.
Chromatin
This cell organelle job is to correctly encase DNA, so it's small enough to occupy the cell nucleus and shield the DNA sequence and structure.
Ribosomes
Function: Produce or synthesize proteins using amino acids.
Structure: Usually, they can be found floating in cytosol.
Both
Golgi Apparatus
Function: Collects simple molecules and combines them to produce more complex molecules. The larger molecules are stored in vesicles or sends them out the cell.
