translation
unzips the DNA
helices
adding in RNA primers
Primase
builds up the new DNA strand
DNA polymerase
binds new strand together
ligase
digest old/unused protein
proteasome
digest old organelles and perform autophagy
lysosomes
synthesize phospholipids and membrane proteins
Rough ER
finger-like extensions of the cell that increase surface area
microvilli

smooth ER
glands that secrete directly into ducts
exocrine
lost contact with body surface and release directly into blood stream
endocrine
glands with branched duct
compound
exocrine glands with no branches
