Lysosomes contain enzymes used to breakdown lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. They destroy invaders of the cell by digesting them away. They also destroy and dispose of used organelles that do not work anymore.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. 16 CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have found the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. HOW is this HALLWAY like the endoplasmic reticulum? Endoplasmic reticulum can be found in ALL EUKARYOTIC CELLS (i.e. plant, animal, fungi, etc.). Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum The ER is a long system of tubes and sacs. It acts as a “highway” for the cell. Materials made or processed in one part of the cell are transported to new parts of the cell on the ER. There are TWO types of Endoplasmic Reticulum: ROUGH ER – Extends from the nucleus. Studded with ribosomes; modifies proteins for shipment to other parts of the cell . SMOOTH ER – Modifies & assembles lipids for shipment to other parts of the cell.
