which membrane-bound organelle is the site of protein and lipid synthesis?
endoplasmic reticulum
the ER synthesizes steroids and other lipid, detoxifies alcohol and other drugs, and manufactures nearly all membranes of the cell.
rough ER produces the phospholipids and proteins of the plasma membrane and synthesizes proteins that are either secreted from the cell or packaged in organelles such as lysosomes.
what is the function of the mitochondria organelle?
to produce ATP via cellular respiration
