Ribosomes, Endoplasmic Reticulum, & Golgi
Ribosomes are protein builders found in the cytoplasm or on endoplasmic reticulum (rough endoplasmic reticulum). Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)- rough and smooth. They are both made of folded membrane, but smooth ER is a storage unit and rough ER helps in making proteins. Golgi Apparatus is a packaging unit that looks like rough ER. It takes small molecules, makes them into large molecules and then either stores them or sends them into the cell for use. They also create lysosomes.
