Explanation / Answer

There are various cell components with their specific function:

1. Cell membrane: Act as aboundry, allow nutrient movements across it.

2. Cell wall: Protecting the cell and provide support to it.

3. Nucleus: Act as leader of the cell, direct protein, DNA and RNA synthesis, Nucleolus inside nucleus makes ribosomes.

4. Nuclear membrane: Act as nuclear envelop.

5. Chloroplast: Converts light energy to chemical energy (photosynthesis)

6. Rough endoplasmic reticulum: Transportation system, site of cellular chemical reaction.

7. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: Transportation system, site of cellular chemical reaction. No ribosomes attached.

8. Mitochondria: Cellular respiration

9. Ribosomes: Act as plateform for protein synthesis

10. Vacuoles: Used for temporary material storage

11. Lysosomes: Contain digestive enzymes.

12.Cytoplasm: Suspends and holds a cell organelles

13. cytoskeleton: Provide internal structure support

14. Microtubules: Supporting framework - maintain the shape of a cell

15. Centrioles: Play a role in cell division

16. Golgi body: Flattens and packages proteins to be sent to their destination

17. Chromosome: Holds DNA, RNA and act as master set for directing protein synthesis.
