Q

ribosomes

A

they’re made by a small subunit at the bottom and a large subunit at the top, the Rna messanger pass in the middle.
here proteins are made

Q

rough er

A

is attached to the nucleus, here ribosomes are sitting outside and they form the proteins.
it also creates the membranes needed by the cell

Q

Golgi apparatus

A

where the proteins are transported by the vesicles, here they are being modified with the addition of cholesterol, lipids, non-protein contents like iron, and where polypeptide subunits are combined with proteins

Q

mithocondria

A

here ATP is created by a process called aerobic cell respiration, energy in the form of glucose is being transformed by the use of oxygen in ATP. they have an inner and outer membrane, their DNA and ribosomes
