The type of cell you are describing, which contains a cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, Golgi complex, lysosomes, ribosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum, is characteristic of a eukaryotic cell.

Among the options provided—Algae, Animal, Bacterium, and Plant—the best answers would be Animal or Plant cells, as they both are eukaryotic and contain the organelles listed.

Bacteria, on the other hand, are prokaryotic cells and do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, Golgi complex, or lysosomes.

Algae, being eukaryotic as well, could also fit this description. However, without additional context, the best general answer is Animal cells.
