Chapter 6 Ellen: Section 6.2, 6.3 Tina: 6.4, 6.5 Endomembrane system - regulates protein traffic and performs metabolic functions Membranes are either related directly through physical continuty or by transfers through tiny vesicles. Includes: nucelar envelope, the ER, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vaculoues and plasma membrance.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) > Golgi apparatus (body): Lysosome:
 * Network of membranous sacs and tubes; active in membrane synthesis and other synthetic and metabolic processes; has rough and smooth regions.
 * Smooth ER functions in metabolic processes – including synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, and detoxification of drugs and poison
 * Organelle active in synthesis, modification, sorting, and secretion of cell products
 * Digestive organelle where macromolecules are hydrolyzed (broken down)

Mitochondria - sites for cellular respiration, metabolic process that generates ATP Anny: 6.6, 6.7
