What makes up a ribosome?
rRNA + protein
What does the endoplasmic reticulum do?
Synthesizes membranes and compartmentalizes cell
What does the smooth ER do?
Synthesizes lipids, detoxifies the cell, metabolizes carbs
What does the cis face of the golgi complex do?
Receives vesicles
What does the golgi complex do?
Sorts, modifies, and packages materials
What does the trans face of the golgi complex do?
Sends materials
What do lysosomes do?
Hydrolyze animal cells and use autophagy
What are the steps of autophagy?
1) membrane forms around material
2) membrane engulfs material, making an autophagosome
3) autophagosome fuses with lysosome
4) lysosome digests and recycles material
What do peroxisomes do?
Produce H2O2
What aids plants with turgor pressure?
Central vacuoles
What is the endosymbiotic theory?
