Lysosomes are a special type of Golgi vesicle. ### Structure of Golgi apparatus ![Structure of Golgi apparatus](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/bcecfba7-d1bd-42a1-935b-a58cf49b2731/cell-organelle-golgi-apparatus-vesicle-.jpg) - The Golgi apparatus is a series of flattened membranous sacs. ### Function of Golgi apparatus ![Function of Golgi apparatus](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/bcecfba7-d1bd-42a1-935b-a58cf49b2731/cell-organelle-golgi-apparatus-vesicle-.jpg) - Transport vesicles form at the endoplasmic reticulum and fuse with the Golgi apparatus. - The transport vesicles empty proteins and lipids into the lumen of the Golgi apparatus. - As the proteins and lipids travel through the Golgi, they are sorted, packaged and tagged so that they can be sent to the right place. ### Structure of Golgi vesicles ![Structure of Golgi vesicles](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/b2df675a-4028-4d8b-9453-8e8651bbb047/Golgi%20Apparatus.jpg) - Golgi vesicles are membrane-bound, fluid-filled vesicles located in the cytoplasm. - They are small, round and are seen in a high density near the edges of the sacs. - Lysosomes are a type of Golgi vesicle. ### Function of Golgi vesicles ![Function of Golgi vesicles](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/b2df675a-4028-4d8b-9453-8e8651bbb047/Golgi%20Apparatus.jpg) - Golgi vesicles store and transport modified proteins and lipids from the Golgi apparatus to target cells. - Lysosomes are a special type of Golgi vesicle. They contain enzymes called lysozymes. - Lysozymes aid the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids and old organelles. ## Ribosomes and the Endoplasmic Reticulum Proteins are made in ribosomes. Proteins may then be folded and processed by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes and processes lipids. ### Structure of ribosomes ![Structure of ribosomes](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/e0e02c7c-784b-492e-8e10-a09138e54120/ribosome-protein-.jpg) - Ribosomes can be free floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). - Ribosomes are very small organelles made of protein subunits. This means that ribosomes are not covered by a membrane. - Eukaryotic ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, attached to the RER, and in mitochondria and chloroplasts. - Ribosomes in the cytoplasm and RER are 80S in size. - Ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are 70S in size. ### Function of ribosomes ![Function of ribosomes](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/e0e02c7c-784b-492e-8e10-a09138e54120/ribosome-protein-.jpg) - Ribosomes are in charge of protein synthesis. - Protein synthesis is an essential function of all cells. This is why ribosomes are found in practically every cell. ### Structure of the ER ![Structure of the ER](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/4d39269b-6a76-4660-b5ac-6a4d9c282aa5/Smooth%20Endoplasmic%20Reticulum.jpg) - The ER is a series of interconnected membranous sacs and tubules. - The membrane of the ER is a phospholipid bilayer embedded with proteins. - The smooth ER (SER) membrane has no ribosomes but the rough ER (RER) membrane has many ribosomes on its surface. ### Function of the RER and SER ![Function of the RER and SER](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/e13f9582-b1cd-4851-affa-0a6b665a11e2/Rough%20Endoplasmic%20Reticulum.jpg) - The RER is responsible for processing and folding proteins. - The SER is responsible for making and processing lipids. ## Test yourself on Organelles of Eukaryotic Cells 2 - The Functioning of the Golgi Apparatus - Where do transport vesicles form? - What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus? - Which of the following statements regarding Golgi vesicles are correct? - Which of the following statements regarding ribosomes is true?
