Questions and Answers
What is the function of polyribosomes attached to the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum?
Translate mRNAs coding for membrane proteins of the ER, the Golgi apparatus, or the cell membrane, enzymes to be stored in lysosomes and proteins to undergo exocytosis from secretory vesicles.
Where do proteins, glycoproteins, and lipoproteins get synthesized in the cell?
In the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Why does the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) stain with basic dyes?
Due to the presence of negatively charged rRNA in the ribosomes attached to it
