Is the rough endoplasmic reticulum covered with ribosomes?

No, the name Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum comes from the 'rough' appearance when seen under an electron microscope. The 'rough' bits are ribosomes which stud the surface. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum has no 'rough' bits ie. no ribosomes.


What is RER in nervous system?

The "RER" is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, also known as Nissle Bodies. They are structures within the cell where protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes, which cover the endoplasmic reticulum giving it a "rough" appearance under a microscope. In the nervous system, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is found within the cell body of a nerve. Neuropeptides are synthesised and partially processed there. They are thought to be involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as acetycholine.


What external surface is studded with ribosomes?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resembled studded surfaces under magnification due to the presence of ribosomes. Rough ER is where the manufacturing of proteins occur in a cell.


What causes rough endoplasmic reticulun look rough under a miscrocope Rough er has ribosomes attached to it?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) appear rough when observed under a microscope because the outer region of the RER is studded with ribosomes which form sites for protein synthesis.


An organelle that is rough has?

I believe you are referring to the Rough ER, or the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It has many ribosomes on it which look like little black dots under a microscope and therefore it appears rough.
