Here is the corrected list of cell structures with their respective functions or definitions:

  1. Cytoplasm: Everything between the nuclear membrane and the cell membrane.
  2. Centrioles: Structure that organizes the motion of chromosomes during cell division.
  3. Lysosome: Sac filled with digestive chemicals that break down waste and cellular debris.
  4. Mitochondria: Structures that convert nutrients into energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
  5. Cell membrane: Membrane that surrounds and protects the cell.
  6. Endoplasmic reticulum: Passageways where chemicals are synthesized and transported; includes rough (with ribosomes) and smooth (without ribosomes) types.
  7. Vacuole: Sac that stores water, nutrients, or waste products; larger in plant cells.
  8. Nucleus: Structure that contains DNA and regulates gene expression; also responsible for controlling cellular activities.
  9. Cytoskeleton: Tubules and filaments that give the cell its shape and facilitate movement.
  10. Nuclear membrane: Membrane that protects the nucleus and regulates what enters and exits.
  11. Golgi apparatus: Stack of membranes that packages chemicals and prepares them for transport or secretion.
  12. Ribosome: Small structure that synthesizes proteins; can be free-floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
  13. Vesicle: Package created by the Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum that transports materials within the cell.
  14. Nucleolus: Structure within the nucleus that manufactures ribosomes.

This corrected list accurately pairs each cellular structure with its proper function or role.
