It is the control center of the cell. It also contains the genetic material

Ribosomes:
They are spread all over the cytoplasm. They produce the protein for the cell

Golgi Bodies:
They look like some pancakes stacked together. They gather all of the substances produced by the cell and distribute them through out the cell.

Endoplasmic Reticulum:
They transport the proteins trough out the cell. they also look like stacked pancakes

Mitochondria:
The mitochondria produce the energy for the cell. They are like the power plants of the cell.

Vacoule:
The vacoules are the storage rooms of the cells. They are big and yellow.

Cytoplasm:
The citoplasm is a gell type fluid that fills the cell.
