A network of canals that is covered with ribosomes is called what?
The network of canals that is covered with ribosomes is known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.
Endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes attached to it is called?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Are ribosomes always found in the endoplasmic reticulum?
No, ribosomes are not always found in the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum are called rough endoplasmic reticulum, while ribosomes in the cytoplasm are called free ribosomes.
Which of these organelles is coverd in ribosomes?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes. In fact, it is called 'rough' because of the presence of ribosomes which give it a rough looking appearance. Technically, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is actually the region of the greater 'endoplasmic reticulum' where protein synthesis takes place. Another region of the endoplasmic reticulum is the 'smooth endoplasmic reticulum' where lipids are synthesized and other metabolic functions take place. The quantity of rough versus smooth endoplasmic reticulum is somewhat in flux and varies based on the needs of the cell.
What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have embedded on its surface?
Ribosomes are embedded on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and their presence gives the rough endoplasmic reticulum its characteristic bumpy appearance.
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.
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 organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?
Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes are the organelles attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes play a key role in protein synthesis, and their presence on the rough endoplasmic reticulum provides a platform for translation and processing of newly synthesized proteins.
A series of membrane-enclosed channels studded with ribosomes is called the?
rough endoplasmic reticulum
Organelles that make proteins are called?
Ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is attached to surfaces of rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Many ribosomes are attached to the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. That is why it is called " rough. "
