True or False: Smooth ER is involved in detoxification of drugs, synthesis of lipids?
True
Ribosomes
Site of protein synthesis. Make protein
Golgi apparatus
A system of membranes that modifies and packages proteins for export by the cell.
Microvilli
Fingerlike extensions of plasma membrane of apical epithelial cells, increase surface area, aid in absorption, exist on every moist epithelia, but most dense in small intestine and kidney.
Centrioles
Located near the nucleus and help to organize cell division
General functions of the ER?
Synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.
storage of synthesized materials
transport materials with in the cell
detoxification of drugs and toxins
Flagella
Much longer extensions of the cell and are involved in the propulsion of the cell itself
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
Cilia
Hair like structures involved in aiding the movement of substances along the surface of the cell.
Lysosomes
