Smooth
What does the Rough ER synthesize?
Proteins
How does the Rough ER process the proteins it produces?
In the Lumen of the ER, they are modified
- Folded
- Attached to lipids
- Attached to Carbohydrates
What does the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesize?
Phospholipids, Fats, and Sterols
The Golgi Complex consists of many ________ that are shaped like stacked pita bread
Cisterns
The Golgi Complex is known as the _________ of the cell
Post Office
Products to be transported, like proteins move from one Cistern to the next in the Golgi Complex via….
Transport Vesicles
In the Golgi Complex, transport vesicles bud off from one ________, then fuse w the membrane of the next
Cistern
Proteins are further modified in the Cisterns of the Golgi Complex. Membrane Blebs called __________ are released carrying the protein to it’s final destination
Secretory transport vesicles
