Step-by-step explanation:

Below is a list of organelles that are commonly found in eukaryotic cells.

Organelle: Function

Nucleus: The “brains” of the cell, the nucleus directs cell activities and contains genetic material called chromosomes made of DNA.

Mitochondria: Make energy out of food

Ribosomes: Make protein

Golgi Apparatus: Make, process and package proteins

Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes to help break food down

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Called the "intracellular highway" because it is for transporting all sorts of items around the cell.

Vacuole: Used for storage, vacuoles usually contain water or food. (Are you are thirsty? Perhaps your vacuoles need some water!)

Plant cells also have:

Chloroplasts: Use sunlight to create food by photosynthesis

Cell Wall: For support
