Cytoskeleton
Proteins called tubulin and actin are arranged into fibers called microfilaments and
microtubules. These have several functions in eukaryotes: support the cell (framework),
give the cell its shape, and serve as highways through the cytoplasm upon which
transport vesicles migrate through the cytoplasm.
Centriole
In animals and fungi, an organizer of microtubules, lying just above the nucleus. It
organizes the microtubules into a spindle to allow chromosomes to separate during
mitosis (asexual cell division)
Ribsosome
endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
