Rough ER, Has ribosomes attached to its outer surface, This is where new proteins fold into their 3D shape, Smooth ER, Has NO ribosomes attached to its outer surface, This is continuous with the rough ER, Participates in toxin modification and lipid/steroid synthesis, Golgi apparatus, The post office, Consists of flattened membranous sacs called cisternae, piled up like saucers, Receives vesicles from the ER, Packages and sorts vesicle contents before sending them to their destination, Lysosomes, The recycling center, These are vesicles that contain digestive enzymes that break down molecules, Vesicles containing macromolecules that are damaged or no longer needed fuse with this, Materials taken in by phagocytosis also end up here, Mitochondria, The breakdown of glucose begins in the cytoplasms, and the resulting smaller molecules enter this, This harvests ATP energy, Chloroplasts, Only found in photosynthetic organisms: plants and some protists, Green because they contain the green pigment chlorophyll, Harvest sunlight energy to make glucose, Vacuoles, Common in plants, fungi, and protists, Stores toxic by-products and wastes to deter animal feeding, Draws in water to provide structural support, Attracts pollinators for reproduction, Cytoskeleton, A meshwork of filaments, Support and maintain cell shape, Holds organelles and other particles in position inside the cell, Helps anchor the cell in place by interacting with extracellular structures, Includes microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
