Organelles and Endomembrane System

The nucleolus is found inside the nucleus and is responsible for producing ribosomes.

Mitochondria are not part of the endomembrane system.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for making lipids.

Mitochondria produce the energy a cell needs to carry out its functions.

Vacuoles store water in both plant and animal cells.

The endomembrane system is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that work together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins.

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

The nuclear membrane is a double membrane that surrounds the nucleus and controls the passage of materials in and out of the nucleus.
