Has central roles in lipid and protein synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum
What part of the ER is involved with transport to the Golgi
Transitional ER
Topologically, where are the lumens of the ER and Golgi
the exterior of the cell
RER and SER overall functions
protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, drug detox
What makes the “rough” appearance of the RER?
Ribosomes
One specific function of the SER?
Ca ion storage
Smooth ER contains enzymes to detoxify lipid-soluble molecules. How?
Making them water soluble
How do receptors functions?
Catalytically, after completing one round of targeting, they return to their point of origin to be reused
cell specialized in protein production will have more RER or SER
RER
cell specialized in detox or lipid synthesis or Ca ion storage will have more RER or SER
SER
