Q

Two types of ER and functions

A

Rough ER- synthesis of proteins
smooth ER- synthesis of fatty acids, steroids lipids (ex. testosterone, estrogen, storage=calcium)

Q

Compare and contrast lysosomes and peroxisomes.

A

Both are vesicles
Lysosomes –break down bacteria and old organelles

Peroxisomes –break down fatty acids and toxic materials

Q

The nucleus is covered by and contains these important structures

A

covered by nuclear envelope:two membranes with pore
Nuclear pore complexes: transport occurs here
* Chromatin: DNA and associated proteins- chromatin found in non dividing cells and can be used by the cell. chromosomes are found in cells dividing(non-compact state;)

  • Nucleoli (nucleolus) – Control synthesis of ribosomal RNA
