as the tubules get further away from the nucleus, the ribosomes get fewer,
thus smooth ER. Here lipids are synthesized and added to the new proteins. |

Definition
membranous sacs that pinch off the end of the ER tubules, containing the new
proteins. Vesicles transport the new proteins to the next step in protein processing: |
