Rough Endoplasmic reticulum  - Associated with ribosomes being on the surface. Ribosomes are particles of ribose nucleic acid (RNA) that are formed in the nucleus. RNA is important for protein synthesis, the process of creating key protein structures to help with cellular and body function., Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum - There are no ribosomes on the surface. It's major functions include metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxication of toxins (including drugs), regulation of calcium concentration and synthesis of lipids such as phospholipids and steroids., Golgi Apparatus - It helps to concentrate and package substances produced within the cell to benefit either cellular function, or outside of the cell., Mitochondria - They provide the majority of energy a cell needs to function, but they are also involved in cellular characteristics of life, such as cellular death, the cell cycle and cellular growth, Lysosomes - Packets of hydrolytic enzymes, enzymes that break down substances., Peroxisomes - Primarily responsible for detoxification, particularly toxification of hydrogen peroxide which is used to help signalling immune cells to a site of infection., Centrosomes - Primarily there to help with cell division., Cytoskeleton - Primarily there to help maintain the structure of a cell, Nucleus - Contains genetic material and regulates cell functions., Microtubules - Protein based structure that are long cylindrical shapes that helps maintain the cytoskeleton.,
