vesicles secretion on cell membrane
27
what are ribosomes made out of
protein and RNA
28
where are 4 places ribosomes can be found
nucleoli nuclear envelope cytoplasm rough ER
29
what read messenger RNAs and assemble amino acids into proteins
ribosomes
30
what 2 things does the golgi apparatus synthesize
carbohydrates glycoproteins
31
what does the golgi apparatus put the finishing touches on
protein synthesis
32
where does the golgi apparatus receive its proteins from
the rough ER
33
what are 3 ways the golgi appears puts the finishing touches on protein synthesis
sorts them spices them adds carbohydrate moieties
34
some become lysosomes some become part of the plasma membrane some become secretory vesicles for later protein secretion
