Endoplasmic Reticulum

Rough ER (RER)

• ribosomes on cytoplasmic side of

ER membrane synthesize proteins

across ER membrane into ER

Smooth ER (SER)

• where new lipids are made

The Golgi apparatus

• proteins destined to leave ER are transported to the Golgi where

they are modified, sorted and sent to various destinations.

• polysaccharides are produced in the Golgi apparatus as well

prevents lysis

Chloroplasts

Site of photosynthesis in plant cells.

• production of glucose from CO2 and H2O using sunlight

• the basis of essentially all ecosystems
