  • Nucleolus - site of ribosome synthesis
  • Ribosomes are found both free floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). They consist of two subunits made up of proteins and RNA.

  • Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production through oxidative phosphorylation.
  • Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and energy production through oxidative phosphorylation.
  • Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules into smaller molecules.
  • The ER is continuous with the outer membrane of the nucleus, forming nuclear pores that allow transport between the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are involved in photosynthesis.
  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are involved in photosynthesis.
  • Glycosylation occurs when carbohydrates are added onto proteins by enzymes located within the Golgi apparatus.
  • The ER has three main functions: production of lipids such as phospholipids and cholesterol, detoxification of drugs and other foreign molecules through enzymes called cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, and secretion of proteins into the bloodstream via vesicles.
  • Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules into smaller molecules.
  • The Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing, sorting, packaging, and modifying proteins and lipids produced by the ER.
  • Golgi apparatus consists of flattened sacs called cisternae arranged in stacks.
  • Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that break down macromolecules such as carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids, and proteins.
