All of the following are properties of the endoplasmic reticulum except: - some parts have embedded ribosomes - it is usually found immediately surrounding the nucleus - its main role is hydrolysis of macromolecules - it is involved with synthesis of lipids - it appears as a group of membranous sacs and tubes

Match the functions with the appropriate cellular organelle. Contains DNA and is important for information storage Nucleus Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Peroxisome Golgi Apparatus Cytoskeleton Lysosome Mitochondria Responsible for synthesizing proteins Site of cellular respiration where ATP is made Acts as the cell's shipping and receiving center where products are modified and stored
