What are ribosomes made of
rRNA, and some 50 structural proteins
27
Where are ribosomes normally found
clustered on the endoplasmic reticulum
28
What is the endoplasmic reticulum
mesh of interconnected membranes that serve a function involving protein synthesis and transport
29
Rough ER
connects to nuclear envelope | mRNA has blueprint for proteins to travel to ribosomes
30
smooth ER
involved in transport and a variety of other functions
31
what is the golgi complex
flattened stacks of membrane bound sacs
32
what does the golgi complex do
packaging plant modifying vesicles from rough ER
