... surface to make it rough. These ribosome's that are bound to the rough ER synthesize the proteins. The proteins are then moved into the lumen where they are folded and carbohydrates are attached, which become glycoproteins. They are then transported to the Golgi apparatus by vesicles. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes bound to it and the enzymes that it ... involved with many different functions depending on the cell type. These functions include the synthesis of membrane components like phospholipids and fatty acids, the synthesis of steroid hormones, metabolism of carb...

... of photosynthesis and therefore more nutrients produced. Hence, with more nutrition, the plant's growth rate will increase. In further detail, photosynthesis is the combination of CO2, H2O, the oxidisation of carbohydrates and most importantly, the sun, to produce a sugar which the plant takes in as energy; this sugar is known as glucose (C6H12O6). Another product of photosynthesis is oxygen gas (O2 ... ...
