Distinguish between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes, or the things that make proteins in the cell, are attached to it, making it rough. The smooth one is smooth because their are no ribosomes attached to it.


Some endoplasmic reticulum appears rough because?

because ribosomes are attached to the surface


Why is the smooth Endo Reticulum smooth?

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is considered "smooth" because it does not contain ribosomes that attach to its walls. "Rough" endoplasmic reticulum, on the other hand, is classified as all endoplasmic reticulum walls where ribosomes are attached. Ribosomes are created inside the nucleus and often move through the endoplasmic reticulum in the process of carrying out their function - making proteins.


What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum rough?

On the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it is rough due to the ribosomes that are on it. The Ribosomes create protein and send them into the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are made inside the nucleolus.


What would endoplasmic reticulum represent?

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes


Why is smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum smooth?

Because there are no ribosomes on the surface of this organelle, unlike its couterpart, the rough endoplasmic reticulum whcih gets its name from the presence of the ribosomes.


Why is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum unable to synthesizes proteins?

because it has no ribosomes


What is on rough endoplasmic reticulum that is not on smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes make RER "rough". SER is smooth because it has none. RER makes proteins because of the ribosomes and SER makes lipids.


Why is the endoplasmic reticulum rough?

Because it is studded with ribosomes that cause it to be rough.


What do endoplamic reticulum do?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) is concerned with the transport of proteins which are synthesised by the ribosomes present on their surface. The name "rough endoplasmic reticulum" is because it looks rough under a microscope due to the ribosomes...


What can represent a rough edoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes


Why does rough ER look rough under the microscope?

ribosomes attached on the sides of the RER makes it look rough under the microscope .
