The Golgi complex

The Golgi complex is found in eukaryotes cells. It is similar to the ER. The Golgi complex was named after Camilo Golgi an Italian biologist. Although the membranes of the Golgi complex look similar to the ER they have completely different functions. Lipids and proteins are delivered from the ER to the Golgi complex. The Golgi complex changes and packages proteins ready to export the finished product. When the proteins move threw the Golgi complex it changes their chemicals. In plant cells the material, which makes cell walls, also passes through the Golgi.

=Ribosome= The Ribosome is the cell part that produces protein. It is made up of 2 substances they are called 40s (small) and 60s (large). While collecting this protein they make long chains. This chain doesn’t remain long very soon it will split up one will go out of the cell and the other line will be used for the cell inside the cell. The eukaryotic cells are just fine with the 40s/60s ribosome but the prokaryotic cells need 50s and 30s. ribosome’s have a difficult process to make proteins but it looks rather simple. When a cell needs protein it looks to its ribosome’s. When the proteins are created they might be used as enzymes to break things down. So if your body senses that there aren’t enough proteins the ribosome’s go to work. Think of them as construction workers that connect the amino acids that build the proteins. Ribosome’s can be found in various parts of the cell for example the cytoplasm. They are also found on the endoplasmic reticulum, when the endoplasmic reticulum it is called rough. These are the organelles that produce amino acid that helps create proteins.
