Cell structure and function: trillions of cells in the human body classified into ~ 200 cell types, this is based on specific variations in structure and function, despite variations, cells still share many common features: plasma. Endoplasmic reticulum: fluid filled membranous system, a protein and lipid producing factory, rough er: Transport vesicle from er, about to fuse with the golgi membrane. Cytosol: intermediary metabolism enzymes, transport, secretory, and endocytic vesicles, facilitate intracellular reactions involving degradation, synthesis, and transformation of small organic molecules, transport or store products being moved within, out of, or into the cell, respectively, store excess nutrients. Intermediary metabolism refers collectively to the large set of chemical reactions inside the cell that involve the degradation, synthesis: and transformation of small organic molecules such as simple sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids. The intermediary metabolism occurs in the cytosol and involves thousands of enzymes.
