cell membrane
protects the cell and controls what comes in and out
lysosomes

golgi
revives ER and transports vesicles
packages, sorts, and sends ER proteins
vacuole
organelles that store materials such as water and nutrients
occupies a large space within plant cells
centrioles
used for cell division
found in animal cells only
ER
