support and keep shape in plant
cell membrane
control what enters and exits cell
nucleus

chloroplast
site of photosynthesis in plants only
vacuole
stores water and food (larger and gives shape to plant cells)
rough endoplasmic reticulum
modification and transportation of proteins
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
modification and transportation of lipids
vesicles
membrane bound sacs that transport materials through cell membrane
