I'm trying to understand the anatomy of a cell. Can you help me out and explain what all the components of a cell do?

A cell is made up of many different components, each with its own important function. The nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains genetic information in the form of DNA. The mitochondria convert energy from food into a useable form for the cell. Ribosomes are responsible for making proteins. The endoplasmic reticulum transports molecules within the cell and manufacture lipids and steroids. The golgi complex is responsible for packaging and distributing molecules within the cell. The lysosomes break down large molecules and remove debris. The cytoplasm is the jelly-like material which contains the organelles and the cell membrane provides a coordination between the cell and its environment.
