Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Smooth

Lipid synthesizes + detoxification

Golgi Apparatus

modifies sorts + packages protein and lipids for secretion.

Lysosomes

Digestive enzymes

break down waste materials

Peroxisomes

Break down fatty acids + detoxify harmful substances

Plasma Membrane

Semi-permeable barrier
regulate movements in and out the cell
