Q

Difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

A

one has ribosomes surrounding it while the other lacks it but both perform the function of synthesizing, storing and transporting lipids

17
Q

where are 70s and 80s proteins found?

A

found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and are subunits made of RRNA and protein

18
Q

what are the function of chloroplasts?

A

double membrane organelle which is the site of aerobic respiration

19
Q

what does the thylakoid do in chloroplasts?

A

absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis tto occur and stacks up to form gana toincrease surface pigments to absorb light

20
Q

what does the stroma do in the chloroplast?

A

provides nutrients to the tissue or organ and removes waste and extra fluid

21
Q

what does the granum do in the chloroplasts?

A

increases surface area of thylakoids which results in more light being absorbed in photosynthesis

22
Q

what do the membranes of thylakoids have?

A

contain pigments involved in photosynthesis

23
Q

what is the golgi vesicle ?

A

plays a role in digestion and immune response. lysosomes are a type of them which contains lyzozyme enzymes.

24
Q

what is the golgi apparatus?

A

responsible for modifying proteins and packaging them into vesicles
