Cell membrane: this is a thin lipid protein rich membrane covering the outer layer of the cell. It is semi permeable protecting the cell from its environment. It also regulates the passage of materials in and out of the cell. 

Nucleus: it contains DNA that regulates various cell activities and protein synthesis. 

Lysosomes: they contain enzymes which break down cellular debris, waste products and foreign substances. 

Mitochondria: double membrane organelle responsible for producing energy ( ATP) through cellular respiration.
