> Membrane-bound organelle> Contains most genetic material> "Control Center"> First organelle to be discovered!
> Tough, flexible and sometimes fairly rigid> Completely surrounds cell and cell membrane> Protection > Structural Support> Filtering mechanism
> "plasma membrane" or "cytoplasmic membrane"> Selectively permeable> Protection> Involved in a variety of cellular processes
> "golgi complex" or "golgi body"> modifies, sorts, and packs macromolecules > primarily proteins> "post office" of the cell
> Conduct photosynthesis> Contain chloropyll that capture energy from sunlight> Stores energy in ATP
