• Where lipids and hormones are made

• Add tags to proteins

What does the Golgi apparatus do with proteins from the ER?

• Breaks them down for recycling

• Stores them as genetic information

• Moves them through stacked compartments

• Controls what molecules get in and out

What is the role of lysosomes in a cell?

• Store genetic information

• Break down unneeded proteins and damaged cell parts
