Question

List the functions of rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies.

Answer 1

The major function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the detoxification of the body from drugs consumed and metabolic wastes produced. The major function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is protein synthesis and their folding into proper quaternary structures. The major functions of the Golgi bodies involve modifying, sorting, and packaging of proteins produced by the ribosomes.
