| Endoplasmic Reticlum (ER) | There are two types; Rough and Smooth. Both are membranous channels that act as a transport system for the cell. |
| What is the Rough ER? | Covered in ribosomes and specializes in protein synthesis |
| What is the Smooth ER? | Produces different molecules depending on the cell. Produces hormones in locations such as the testes and adrenal cortex, and helps break down alcohol in liver cells. |
| What is a Ribosome? | Appear as small dense granules. Made of two unequalsubunits which consists of rRNA and protein. May attach to the RER or remain free in the cytoplasm. |
