7610966219RibosomeComposed of Large and Small subunits; responsible for protein synthesis0
7610966220MitochondriaContains structures such as the cristae, inner membrane, out membrane, and matrix. Location of aerobic respiration.1
7610966221Golgi ApparatusReceives vesicles and their contents from smooth ER , modifies them, repackages them into vesicles and distributes them to the plasma membrane by exocytosis2
7610966222Rough Endoplasmic ReticulumSystem of internal membranes within the cytoplasm. Membranes are rough due to the presence of ribosomes. functions in transport of substances such as proteins within the cytoplasm3
7610966224lysosomemembranous organelle with hydrolytic enzymes that digests macromolecules such as complex lipids or proteins.4
