Nucleolus | Assembles ribosomes |
Nucleus | Contains DNA and proteins |

Plasma membrane | Bilayer of phospholipids |
Centrioles | Separates chromosomes during cell division |
Cytosol | Liquid portion of cytoplasm |
Lysosomes | Degrades waste products |
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) | Series of membranes studded with ribosomes; sorts proteins and forms them into more complex compounds |
