Flashcards
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
A network of interconnected membranes found in eukaryotic cells, responsible for protein synthesis, folding, and lipid metabolism.
Golgi Apparatus
Golgi Apparatus
A dense network of tubules and sacs that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport within the cell.
How is the ER membrane structure similar to the cell membrane?
How is the ER membrane structure similar to the cell membrane?
