• Ribosomes may occur as free particles suspended within the cytoplasm or sometimes attached to the membranous wall of the endoplasmic reticulum. They are granular particles composed of protein and RNA molecules.
• Ribosomes synthesize protein molecules that may be used to build cell structures or to function as enzymes. Some of the proteins synthesized are secreted by the cell to be used elsewhere in the body.
• Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a series of membranous channels that traverse the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells.
• In some cases, ribosomes are attached to ER that gives them the rough appearance thus, called rough endoplasmic reticulum that is usually associated with active protein synthesis process
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum on the other hand does not contain ribosomes and is associated with cellular regions and involved in the synthesis and transport of lipids or detoxification of a variety of poisons within the cell.
• Golgi apparatus is a cluster of flattened membranous sacs that are continuous with the channels of the SER.
• Golgi apparatus. It is responsible for the storage, modification and packing of materials produced for secretory export
• Golgi apparatus is also involved in the formation of lysosomes and other transport vesicles of the cell.
