Why are the ribosomes, endoplasmic reticula and the Golgi bodies so close to each other?

OpenStudy (somy):

what function/role connects all of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nucleus? They are all attached to it, right?

OpenStudy (somy):

no i mean role not actual connection

OpenStudy (somy):

what is the function you know of which involves these 3 organelles in close association??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. Then… \(\huge\color{cyan}{food/protein?}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not 100% sure though...

OpenStudy (somy):

what do you mean by food/protein? say whatever you know of whether you are sure or not and then i'd direct to the right thinking

OpenStudy (somy):

though your thinking is pretty close so what do u mean by food/protein?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i think they help produce and handle food/protiens

OpenStudy (somy):

mainly its Protein synthesis that involves all of these 3 organelles in close association so you are partially correct

OpenStudy (somy):

do you know how protein synthesis happens? and what is the role of each of these organelles in it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, isn't it like photosynthesis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Except for animal cells, so it just transforms food into things that can help the main organism.

OpenStudy (somy):

hmmm protein synthesis and photosynthesis are two different things

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh.

OpenStudy (somy):

its not about food either

OpenStudy (somy):

the food deal is done my enzymes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm… so could it handle and use proteins?

OpenStudy (somy):

Protein synthesis is as the name suggests : MAKING proteins

OpenStudy (somy):

hmm it doesnt look like you know about the process which grade are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6th...

OpenStudy (somy):

hmmm can you tell me what have you learnt about these 3 organelles? (so that i get what level of answer is required for you)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My school goes a little ahead… @Somy But, thanks SO MUCH for the help! \(\Huge\color{blue}{SOMY~IS~AN~AWESOME}\) \(\Huge\color{blue}{BIOLOGY~HELPER!!!!}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, um, I know that there are free ribosomes and fixed ones, and the fixed ones are attached to the E.R.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, my science teacher says that you can remember the Golgi bodies because they looks like pancakes.
