29
What are the Cytoplasmic Organelles?
• Ribosomes • Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) - Rough and Smooth endoplasmic reticulum • Golgi apparatus
30
Made of protein and RNA • Sites of protein synthesis • Found at two locations - • Free in the cytoplasm, Attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
31
• Fluid-filled tubules for carrying substances
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
32
Two types of ER
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
33
Studded with ribosomes • Site where building materials of cellular membrane are formed
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
34
Functions in cholesterol synthesis and breakdown, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
35
• Modifies and packages proteins • Produces different types of packages -Secretory vesicles -Cell membrane components -Lysosomes
Golgi apparatus
36
Contain enzymes that digest non-usable materials within the cell
Lysosomes
37
Membranous sacs of oxidase enzymes • Detoxify harmful substances • Break down free radicals (highly reactive chemicals)
Peroxisomes
38
• Replicate by pinching in half
Peroxisomes
