Q

What is ER?

A

(Rough and smooth)
Smooth: makes lipids (membrane), and stores Ca+2
Rough: makes proteins, packages them for secretion, send in vesicles to golgi

Q

What is the role of proteins in the structure of the phospholipid bilayer?

A

Proteins are embedded for transport

17
Q

What is the role of lipids in the structure of the phospholipid bilayer?

A

Fats

18
Q

What is the role of carbs in the structure of the phospholipid bilayer?

A

They are embedded for structure

19
Q

What is the most essential part of an organelle? And why?

A

Ribosomes, because they make proteins in the cytoplasm and make proteins to export on the Rough ER. The proteins ribosomes make with the rough ER that end up going to the golgi apparatus that sorts out the proteins throughout the cell

20
Q

What does unicellular mean?

A

Composed of one cell

21
Q

What does multicellular mean?

A

Composed of many cells

22
Q

What is an organelle?

A

Specialized structures within the cell that work together to help with cell function
