Cardiolipin

an unusual “double” phospholipid containing four fatty acid chains

found primarily in the inner mitochondrial membrane

acts to improve the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation, by restricting proton flow across the membrane

Rough ER, which is associated with ribosomes, functions in the synthesis and processing of secreted and membrane proteins

Smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes, functions in lipid synthesis.

Function of the ER:

most eukaryotic cells is to sequester Ca2+ from the cytosol (High concentration of Ca2+-binding proteins in the ER facilitates Ca2+ storage)
