Functions of Rough ER

Functions of Rough ER

The rough ER

Has bound ribosomes, which secrete glycoproteins (proteins covalently bonded to carbohydrates)

Distributes transport vesicles, proteins surrounded by membranes

Is a membrane factory for the cell

Slide 43

The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs called cisternae

The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs called cisternae

Functions of the Golgi apparatus:

Modifies products of the ER

Manufactures certain macromolecules

Sorts and packages materials into transport vesicles

The Golgi Apparatus: Shipping and Receiving Center

Lysosomes: Digestive Compartments

Lysosomes: Digestive Compartments

A lysosome is a membranous sac of hydrolytic enzymes that can digest macromolecules

Lysosomal enzymes can hydrolyze proteins, fats, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids

Animation: Lysosome Formation

Slide 46

Some types of cell can engulf another cell by phagocytosis; this forms a food vacuole

Some types of cell can engulf another cell by phagocytosis; this forms a food vacuole

A lysosome fuses with the food vacuole and digests the molecules

Lysosomes also use enzymes to recycle the cell’s own organelles and macromolecules, a process called autophagy
