What organelle stores and transports proteins and synthesizes phospholipids and cholesterol?
Smooth ER
What is the rough endoplasimc reticulum?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is "rough" because it has ribosomes latched on to it. The rough ER is the cell's "membrane factory." The proteins and phospholipids that form part of all cellular membranes are manufactured in the rough ER.
Rough ER function?
They supply a large surface area for protein synthesis.They also produce phospholipids.
How the endoplasmic reticulum mitochondrion and Golgi apparatus are structurally similar.?
They're not similar. That is like asking the similar structures of a table, an air conditioner and a piece of paper. Sure, you can find similarities, but it's a trivial question to ask.
What structure makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum different from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
The basic difference between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the rough ER has ribosomes latched on to it. This is what makes it "rough" and since the smooth ER does not have these organelles on it, it is smooth.The RER and the SER also differ in function. The rough ER is the cell's "membrane factory." Proteins and phospholipids that form part of all cellular membranes are manufactured in the rough ER. The smooth ER's main functions are lipid metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol.
Functions of rough er andsmooth er?
Smooth ER synthesize lipids in cells.They also inlove in detoxification and also stores Ca2+ in skeletal muscles.Rough ER supply a large surface area for protein synthesis.They also produce phospholipids.
What does the rough ER do in animal Cells?
synthesize proteins
What organelle stores and transports proteins and synthesizes phospholipids and cholesterol?
Smooth ER
Which organelle is continuous with the nucleus and synthesize lipids?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is continuous with the nucleus and is responsible for synthesizing lipids. It has two regions: the rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes and synthesizes both membrane proteins and lipids, and the smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes and synthesizes lipids, including phospholipids and steroids.
What is essentially rough endoplasmic reticulum and important metabolically?
The rough ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) has ribosomes on it. The Smooth ER does not. Ribosomes synthesize or make proteins.
Cellular membranes by adding membrane proteins and phospholipids to its own membrane?
Rough ER
What manufactures cellular membranes by adding membrane proteins and phospholipids to its own membrane?
Rough ER
What are the two main functins of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
To synthesize proteins that are fed into the lumen of the rough ER by ribosomes that stud the rough ER surface and ship these proteins to the Golgi apparatus for further modification
How do rough and smooth er compare structurally and functionally?
same structure and both synthesize something
What is then function of rough ER?
It holds ribosomes and give space for protein synthesis.It produce glycol proteins and phospholipids.
What is the rough endoplasimc reticulum?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is "rough" because it has ribosomes latched on to it. The rough ER is the cell's "membrane factory." The proteins and phospholipids that form part of all cellular membranes are manufactured in the rough ER.
What is primary function of rough ER?
It holds ribosomes and give space for protein synthesis.It produce glycol proteins and phospholipids.
