Nuclear envelope
Helps the cell maintain its shape, cell movement
smooth ER
No ribosomes on surface
Rough ER
Involved in synthesis

What is the function of proteins attached the to the cell membrane
Summer used as channels and pumps and help move material
What is the function of the carbohydrate attached to the cell membrane
