Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is the rough ER?
A complex membrane-bound organelle.
How is the rough ER shaped?
In a three dimensional continuous maze.
What is another function of the rough ER?
Modify some of the proteins produced by the ribosomes.
How are the proteins produced?
Moves into the interior of the organelle, where it awaits transport.
How are the membranes organized?
System of membranes that extend from the nucleus of the cell to the cell membrane.
Where are the proteins transported to?
The Golgi Apparatus
Is the rough ER involved in the transport of the proteins made by ribosomes on its surface?
Yes
