Rough endoplasmic reticulum secrete proteins that go outside the cell, and they have ribosomes attached to them. Smooth ER function in transport as well as detoxification.
The cisternae (enclosed spaces in the membranes) of SER tend to be more tubular.

Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?

Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.


What does the rough endoplasmic reticulum have that's different from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

They are both the same thing except for one thing that is the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes around it .


What is the different between smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Smooth ER-synthesizes lipids and steroids, Rough ER-synthesizes proteins. Endoplasmic reticulum is rough when it contains Ribosomes.


What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?

The endoplasmic reticulum is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that synthesize proteins, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification.


What structures distinguish rough ER from smooth ER?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not.


How is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum different from the rough endoplasmi reticulum?

They are both the same thing except for one thing that is the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes around it .


Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p


What is the edoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum is found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms. Endoplasmic reticulum is a type of organelle. Endoplasmic reticulum has two different types smooth or rough.


How can you tell rough endoplasmic- reticulum from smooth endoplasmic- reticulum?

Rough ER has Ribosomes embedded within it, and smooth ER does not.


What is the differencebetween''smooth'' and ''rough'' endoplasnic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (reticulum plasmatic wrinkled?) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (reticulum plasmatic smooth?) si that the rough ER is dotted by ribosomes (hence "rough") that synthesize protein into the ER. The smooth ER does not possess ribosomes and has different functions such as lipid synthesis and xenobiotic detoxification.


How is rough endoplasmic recticulum different from smooth endoplasmic recticulum?

rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached to it but SER doesn't


How many are endoplasmic reticulum?

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
