Document Summary
Chromatin: packaged chromosomes a dna protein complex. Nucleolus is present where ribosomes are assembled. Enclosed by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope which has nuclear pores. Ribosomes: complex protein synthesis machines that help in protein folding. Can be free in the cytoplasm or bound to the er. Free ribosomes fold proteins that say inside the cell. Bound ribosomes fold protein that get transported (after traveling through the. Endoplasmic reticulum: series of folded membranes adjacent to the nucleus. Rer: site of synthesis of proteins that will be located within the endomembrane system or secreted from the cell. Ser: site of specific metabolic activities, lipid and steroid biosynthesis, detoxification and storage of ca++ for muscle contraction. Golgi apparatus: the fedex of the cell that attaches a sugar to outgoing proteins (a glycoprotein) to be marked and shipped/transported outside the cell. Cis side: (close) faces the nucleus (things come in from here)
