soft endoplasmic reticulum
rough endoplasmic reticulum
The nucleus is the organelle that contains genetic material, such as DNA, which provides instructions for the synthesis of proteins necessary for cell function.
Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles that store materials, such as water, nutrients, and waste products, in plant and fungal cells.
The Golgi apparatus is a membrane system that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum for transport to other parts of the cell or excretion outside the cell.
Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste materials, such as old organelles and foreign substances that have entered the cell.
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells that are responsible for carrying out photosynthesis, the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy.
Soft endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membrane network associated with lipid metabolism and detoxification in cells.
Rough ER is a membrane network associated with the synthesis and processing of proteins that are secreted or membrane-bound. Ribosomes on its surface give it a "rough" appearance.
