The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that appears in all eukaryotic cells, usually surrounding the nucleus. The ER is made of a series of membranes that extend throughout the jelly-like cytoplasm and kind of form a maze. The ER's main function is to manufacture and transport materials to other places.

The ER has two halves: rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER is spotted with ribosomes (organelles made of RNA and proteins that produce more proteins from other RNA), while smooth ER contain no ribosomes. Instead, smooth ER makes lipids and does other things, like decomposing drugs and alcohol.

A protein made in a ribosome on rough ER enters the lumen of the ER, then the protein can be modified by attaching to sugar chains, which can help fold or stabilize the protein.
this means peinis and vigina
A complex system of membranes that form a collection of membrane-bound cavities in a cell.

The ER. It depends on if you are referring to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) or the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).


What is the short name for the cells delivery system?

Endoplasmic Reticulum or ER for abbr. Golgi Apparatus is the delivery system. The ER is in charge of ribosome (rough ER) or detoxifying poisons (smooth ER) the Endoplasmic Reticulum is the delivery system.

What organelles that are sometimes referred to as rough or smooth depending on the structure?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle referred to as rough or smooth. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
