-
Membrane-Bound Ribosomes
synthesize poteins destined either for incorporation into cell membranes or for export from the cell.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- ("network within the cytoplasm")
- Extensive system of interconnected tubes and parallel membranes enclosing fluid- filled cavities (cisternae)
-
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
- External surface is covered with ribosomes
- Well developed in most secretory cells, antibody-producing plasma cells, and liver cells -> produce most blood proteins
- The cell's "membrane factory" b/c integral proteins and phosholipids that form part of all cellular membranes are manufactured there.
-
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Consits of tubules arranged in a looping network
-
Sarchoplasmic Reticulum
important role in calcium ion storage and release during muscle contraction
-
Golgi Apparatus
- Consists of stacked and flattened membranous sacs
- "traffic director"
- Function: modify, concentrate, and package the proteins and lipids made at the rough ER
-
Lysosomes
- "disintegrator bodies"
- Spherical membranous organelles containing acivated digestive enzymes
- Can digest almost all kinds of biological molecules
- Work best in acidic conditions &are caalled "acid hydrolases"
