Solution

The nucleus works together with a group of organelles that make up what is called the endomembrane system. They are the factories which build the cell. Ribosomes are small structures found in the cytoplasm which make proteins. ... The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes on its surface.
