Identify the membranous organelles, and describe their functions

What will be an ideal response?


Membranous organelles and their functions are as follows: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) synthesizes secretory products and participates in intracellular storage and transport; the nucleus controls metabolism, stores and processes genetic information, and controls protein synthesis; rough ER modifies and packages newly synthesized proteins; smooth ER synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates; Golgi apparatus stores, alters, and packages secretory products and lysosomal enzymes; lysosomes remove damaged organelles or intracellular pathogens; mitochondria produce 95 percent of the ATP required by the cell; and peroxisomes neutralize toxic compounds.
