Aslam o alikum
I am Hassam ur Rahman and I am teaching Fsc biology since 2014 .I am always trying to improve myself and provide best lecture to students.i am taking content for the lecture from authentic and relevant sources but human errors are possible . you are requested to please highlight the mistakes.My lectures are equally reliable for Fsc and mdcat students

This lecture is about
Cell Organelles
General Description
Cytoplasm contains highly organized discrete structures specific for various cellular functions
Cell organelles are generally enclosed by a membrane except for a few such as ribosomes
Organelles
Endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
Golgi complex
Lysosomes
Peroxisomes
Glyoxysomes
Vacuoles
Mitochondria
Chloroplasts
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Extensive network of membrane within the cytoplasm
Consists of membranous tubules and sacs called cisternae
ER membrane separates the ER lumen from the cytosol
Two types: smooth ER and rough ER
Most cells contain both types
Smooth ER
Continuous with the rough ER
Lacks ribosomes, giving it a smooth appearance
Functions in diverse metabolic processes
Enzymes synthesize lipids including oil, cholesterol, phospholipids, and steroids
Enzymes detoxify drugs and poisons, especially in liver cells
Rough ER
Has ribosomes attached, giving it a rough appearance
Produces proteins secreted by specialized cells
Secretory proteins are transported in vesicles from the rough ER
Functions as a membrane factory for the cell, adding membrane proteins and phospholipids
ER membrane expands and transfers to other components of the endomembrane system
