Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
What else can I help you with?
How can you tell from a rough from smooth ER?
The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.
What is a attached ribosome?
An attached ribosome is a ribosome that is bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. It is involved in the synthesis of proteins that are either secreted by the cell or inserted into the membrane. These proteins play crucial roles in various cellular functions.
What organelles is composed of two subunits and may be free in the cytosol or attached to rough ER?
Ribosome
Where are the ribosome located?
They are mainly in cytoplasm.Also attached to rough ER. Can be seen in mitochondria and chloroplasts
What are proteins in the er?
Most of the protein in the ER is contained in ribosomes which are attached to its surface.
What is a small sphere attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum aka 'ER'?
A ribosome. Ribosomes are the small spherical organelles attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum. They produce proteins and code tRNA
What is the job of the ribosome cell?
The ribosome is a small organelle which can be a "free" ribsome or an "attached" ribosome. The ribosome makes protein that is nessacary for the cell to carry out their processes. If a ribosome is free, then it floats around in a gelatin-like substance called cytoplasm in the cell. If a ribosome is attached, then it is located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If their is a ribosome attached to it, then it is considered the rough endoplasmic reticululm (RER). If their is no ribosome, then it is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
What ER does not have ribosomes attached?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) does not have ribosomes attached to its surface. It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and calcium storage.
Is smooth er covered in ribosomes?
No, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) does not have ribosomes attached to its surface. In contrast, the rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which gives it a "rough" appearance. Smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes in the cell.
The rough ER is the portion of the ER that?
The rough ER is the portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes attached to its surface. These ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, producing proteins that are then transported and processed within the rough ER.
How can you tell rough ER and smooth ER?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a "rough" appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis and processing. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes, appears smooth, and is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis, as well as detoxification processes.
What is a free ribosome?
A free ribosome is a ribosome that is not attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is thus suspended in the cytoplasm.
