Nucleus
33
contains thin fibers of DNA and protein called chromatin
Nucleus
34

Nucleus
35
thin fibers of DNA and protein
Chromatin
36
site of protein synthesis

Smooth Rough
40
ribosome free and functions in poison detoxification
Smooth
41
contains ribosomes and releases newly made protein from the Cell
Rough
42
• A series of flattened sacs that modifies, packages, stores, and transports materials out of the cell.
