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?
