Answer 3

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER

Question 4

Lipid production; Detoxification

Answer 4

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)

Question 5

Golgi apparatus

Answer 5

Protein modification and export

Question 6

Lipid Destruction; contains oxidative enzymes

Answer 6

Peroxisome

Question 7

Protein destruction

Answer 7

Lysosome

Question 8

Proteins that enter the Golgi by mistake are sent back here

Answer 8

Cytosol

Question 9

Molecules in this pathway are often protein channels that allow molecules into or out of the cell or cell identifiers which project into the extracellular space and act as a name tag for the cell.

Answer 9

Cell Membrane

Question 10

This network of protein fibers is responsible for both cell movement and stability. It is composed of microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

Answer 10

Cytoskeleton
