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
