Answer:

The nucleus is the control center of the cell.

The mitochondrion creates energy for the cell (powerhouse).

Ribosomes create proteins (protein synthesis).

The cell membrane is a barrier that lets certain molecules in and out of the cell.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in metabolic processes such as synthesizing lipids.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes that make proteins.

The golgi apparatus packages molecules (usually for exportation).

The cytoplasm gives the cell its shape and supports the organelles.

I can explain it in more detail if you would like :)
