ribosomes
This organelle is responsible for modifying/folding proteins and can be covered with ribosomes
(rough) endoplasmic reticulum
These organelles function as cellular garbage men and contain digestive enzymes
Lysosomes
Bacteria/strep throat
What does the nuclear envelope have that allows certain molecules to pass in and out of the nucleus?
pores
This organelle packages proteins and sends them to their respective destinations
