Endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
An endomembrane system covered with ribosomes where many proteins for transport are assembled.
cell membrane or secreted
Proteins made on the endoplasmic reticulum are incorportated into what?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
This has ribosomes attached to it.
lumen
This is the blank space in the endoplasmic reticulum
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
This structure is attached to the outer membrane of the nucleus.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
This structure is involved in the creation of lipids
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
This structure stores and regulates calcium levels and breaks down toxic substances
sugar chains
What can be added to the proteins when they travel through the lumen?
ribosomes
What creates proteins that travel through the endoplasmic reticulum.
modified and folded
What happens to the proteins when they travel through the lumen?
endoplasmic reticulum
What is an interconnected network of thin folded membranes called?
protein and membrane factory
What is the rough endoplasmic reticulum referred to as?
golgi
after the proteins travel through the endoplasmic reticulum, where are they sent?
yes
does the amount of each endoplasmic reticulum vary depending on the needs of the cell?
yes
is the rough endoplasmic reticulum involved in protein folding and modification?
no
is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum involved in protein folding and modification?
ribosomes
make proteins
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
part of the endoplasmic reticulum that contains enzymes used for all sorts of processes
ribosomes
these are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
cristae
these are the folds in the endoplasmic reticulum
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
this structure has no ribosomes attached to it
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
this structure is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates
lumen
what are proteins transported through
internal membrane system
what do both the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum have in common?
membrane proteins and phospholipids
what does the rough endoplasmic reticulum add to its membrane so that it can grow in place?
proteins
what folds into a 3-d shape?
steroids
what is included in the lipids that are built in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
what is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum connected to?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
what structure breaks down toxins within the cell?
