○ it packages materials into tiny membrane - bound structures called ________
○ it can be compared to a cells ________

• The nucleolus makes ribosomes.
• The ER is a maze of membranes around the nucleus.
• The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins, packages materials into vesicles, and is like a cell's post office.
