The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) organelle is made up of two types, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, which carry out different functions in the cell.

Ribosomes, which can be free floating in the cell or attached to endoplasmic reticulum, carry out the steps of protein synthesis in the cell.

Animals and plants are eukaryotes, composed of cells that have a nucleus, and membrane-bound organelles. But animal cells have a few different features than plant cells.

The eukaryotic cells of plants and animals possess several critical differences from prokaryotic cells, including a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

The cell's endomembrane system consists of the rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, vesicles and plasma membrane, all working together to transport cellular materials.

This classroom activity can be used to familiarize students with basic cell structure and encourage them to think about how the membrane system of eukaryotes works.
