Front

What organelle transports proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the cis face of the Golgi Apparatus?

Back

Transport vesicle

Front

Which kind of endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to it?

Back

Rough ER

Front

Most eukaryotes are surrounded by a _____?

Back

Cell membrane

Front

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have them.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in a cell?

Back

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Front

What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The rough ER is involved in the synthesis of proteins that are secreted from the cell or sent to lysosomes and plasma membrane.

Front

What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium ion storage.
