The ER And The Golgi Apparatus Flashcards
1
Q
Functions of the rough ER?
A
Protein synthesis
Transport system
2
Q
Functions of the smooth ER
A
Makes lipids and carbohydrates
3
Q
Which cells have an extensive ER?
A
Liver or secretory cells as they make loads of molecules like enzymes
4
Q
Describe the Golgi apparatus
A
A stack of membranes which make up cisternae with small rounded hollow structures called vesicles
5
Q
Functions of the Golgi apparatus?
A
Forms glycoproteins and lysosomes
Produces enzymes
Secretes carbohydrates
Changes lipids or proteins
6
Q
Which cells have a well developed Golgi
A
Secretory cells as it makes secretory enzymes and modifies lipids and proteins
7
Q
Difference between the smooth and rough ER?
A
Rough ER has ribosomes, smooth doesn’t
