The ER's cisternae are involved in protein synthesis (rough ER) and lipid synthesis (smooth ER), highlighting their essential role in cellular metabolism and homeostasis. 10 The structural differences between cristae and cisternae reflect their distinct functional roles within the cell. While cristae...
Some of the ribosomes created attach to “rough” ER, which is a network of tiny membranes. A ribosome is not permanently affixed to one spot on the ER, but rather repeatedly attaches and detaches during the protein-making process. The function of the attached ribosomes is to create protei...
In eukaryotic cells, the ribosomes are bigger, more complex and bound by a membrane. They can be found in various places: Sometimes in the cytoplasm; on the endoplasmic reticulum; or attached to the nuclear membrane (covering on the nucleus). In prokaryotic cells, the ribosomes are scattered...
urate oxidase, D-amino oxidase and α-hydroxylic acid oxidase are synthesized in ribosomes of rough endoplasmic reticulum. The oxidative enzymes of peroxisomes use oxygen
