If the endoplasmic reticulum were removed from the cell, which organelle would not be able to function properly, and why?
mitochondria, because they rely on the ER as an energy source
ribosomes, because they receive proteins made by the ER
Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER
cytoplasm, because it relies on the ER for structural support
