cytoplasm that is not contained within membrane-bound organelles
cytosol
protein synthesis
ribosomes
makes glycoproteins and lipoproteins
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
addition of carbohydrate groups to proteins and lipids
Glycosylation
location of molecular chaperones
RER
digestive enzymes that breakdown material that needs to be recycled
Lysosomes
Modifies molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi apparatus
where are proteins degraded?
Proteasomes
where are proteasomes located?
in the cytosol
site for making new membrane
RER
what happens during cisternal maturation?
internal enzymes change as the molecule moves up the Golgi apparatus
manufactures lysosomes
Golgi apparatus
modifies proteins, breaks down, and produces lipids
SER
detoxifies poisons and stores calcium
SER
Golgi start at
cis
Golgi ends at
trans
where do lysosomes bud from?
Golgi apparatus
break down fatty acids

endospore
control of apotosis
mitochondria
produces free radicals
mitochondria
greatly increase SA of mitochondria
cristae
provide surface for chemical rcts in mitochondria
cristae
what are free radicals?
unpaired electrons that attack DNA, collagen, etc and cause death to cells
