Golgi complex

Cytoplsam

Endoplasmic reticulum
There are free ribosomes that are suspended in the cytoplasm of the cell
Ribosome
an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane.
Lysosome
Vacuoles are storage bubbles found in cells. They are found in both animal and plant cells but are much larger in plant cells.
