Plasma membrane: Regulates substance movement across the cell and separates the cell's contents from the external environment.
Cell wall: Maintains plant cell shape, protects the cells from bursting and provides structural support.
Cytoplasm: Acts as a medium for biochemical reactions in most living cells.
Nucleus: Carries genetic information in the form of DNA.
Vacuole: Stores nutrients, wastes, and metabolic by-products.
Ribosome: Synthesizes proteins.
Mitochondria: Synthesizes ATP and is the site of cellular respiration.
