Study Notes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis
- The presence of ribosomes attached to the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum gives it a basophilic appearance in the cytoplasm
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is present in cells that are involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism, such as liver cells and adipocytes
Mitochondria
- The primary function of mitochondria is to generate energy for the cell through cellular respiration
- Janus green B stain can be used to visualize mitochondria by light microscopy
Test your knowledge about the different types and functions of the endoplasmic reticulum, an important membranous cell organelle found in almost all cells. Learn about the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and their roles in protein synthesis.
