What is RNA?
RNA is ribonucleic acid.
What is Rough Endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum is located in the cytoplasm, where there are many ribosomes attached and is also the site of protein synthesis.
What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is located also in the cytoplasm, which is the site of lipid synthesis.
What is golgi apparatus?
Golgi apparatus is located in the cytoplasm, it modifies protein structure and packages protein in secretary vesicle.
What is secretory vesicle?
Secretory vesicle is located in the cytoplasm, It contains materials produced in the cell formed by the Golgi apparatus, secreted by exocytosis.
What is lysosome?
Lysosome is located in the cytoplasm it contains enzymes that digest material taken into the cell.
