Golgi
What is this structure?
Cisternae
Which structure is the Smooth ER?
C
What substances are transferred from the Smooth ER to the Golgi?
Lipids
What does the high concentration of enzymes in the Smooth ER facilitate?
Detoxification and steroid hormone production
What is the structure of the Golgi
A structure of flattened membrane bound sacs called cisternae
What is the structure of the Smooth ER?
Network of interconnected, membrane-closed tubules and vesicles that lacks ribosomes, giving it a smooth appearance
How do materials move between the smooth ER and the Golgi?
They are transported by vesicles
What does the absence of ribosomes allow for the Smooth ER to specialize in?
Synthesis of lipids, steroids, and carbohydrates
What is the function of the Golgi
Modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids into vesicles for secretion or delivery in other parts of the cell
What is the function of the Smooth ER?
The Smooth E.R. has many different functions in the cell, mainly involved with metabolic processes
Which one is the Golgi apparatus and which one is the smooth ER?
B - Smooth ER
D - Golgi Apparatus
What do the stacked layers of the Golgi allow?
Allow for modification, sorting, and packaging of proteins to be efficient
