Endoplasmic reticulum fuction - Ans:✔✔-process, transports molecules to their specific destinations
either inside or outside the cell, site of protein synthesis; senses cellular stress
Ribosomes are nucleoproteins that - Ans:✔✔-synthesize a signal recognition sequence
Golgi Complex structure - Ans:✔✔-flattened, smooth membranes, secretory vesicles and cisternae,
proteins from the ER that are package in the golgi complex
Golgi complex fuctions - Ans:✔✔-refining plant and directs traffic, processes, secretes and releases
substances especially protein from cells
Golgi complex functions - Ans:✔✔-finishing, packaging, and mailing center, sends them to their final
destination
Lysosomes - Ans:✔✔-recycling center(recycle worn out cell parts) and garbage trucks
Lysosomes structure - Ans:✔✔-saclike structures that originate from the Golgi complex
Lysosomes fxn - Ans:✔✔-intracellular digestion system, role in auto-digestion and autophagy, digest
foreign bacteria that invade the cell and rid the cell of toxic substances
Peroxisomes structure - Ans:✔✔-contain oxidative enzymes, are the major sites of oxygen utilization
Peroxisomes functions - Ans:✔✔-detoxify compounds and fatty acids, use oxygen to remove hydrogen
atoms from substrates, synthesize specialized phospholipids for nerve cell myelination
