Definition
Structure: Two subunits made of ribosomal RNA and proteins; can be free in cytosol or bound to ER.
Function: Protein synthsis
***build proteins in 2 locales 1. In the cytosol (free ribosomes) 2. on the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum or the nuclear envelope (bound ribosomes) |

|
Definition
| In a eukaryotic cell, the double membrane that surround the nucleus, perforated with pores that regulate traffic with the cytoplasm. The outer membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum. The pore complex lines each pore and plays an important role in the cell by regulating the entry and exit of proteins and RNAs, as well as large complexes of macromolecules. |

Term
|
Definition
| Aids in synthesis of secretory and other proteins from bound ribosomes; adds carbohydrates to proteins to make glycoproteins; produces new membrane. |
|
|
Term

Definition
Structure:Stacks of flattened membranous sacs; has polarity (cis and trans faces)
Function: Modification of proteins, carbohydrates on proteins, and phospholipids; synthesis of many polysaccharides; sorting of Golgi products, which are then released in vesicles. |
