if it's the rough ER then it functions to transport protein but if its the smooth ER it functions as a site of lipid and steroid synthesis

What functions primarily as an intercellular highway?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Why is endoplasmic reticulum nickname ER?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs that serve many functions in the cell. ER is an acronym from the first letters of each word. e- endoplasmic; r- reticulum.
What builds proteins for cell functions?
Proteins are made in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What areThe three major functions of the endoplasmic reticulum?
Synthesis, storage, transport
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
What does the smooth endoplasm reticulum do for the cell?
A smooth endoplasmic reticulum can be used for transportation. I think there are more functions but I'm not sure what they are. Also, a rough endoplasmic reticulum is just like smooth endoplasmic reticulum except with ribosomes attached.

What is the organelle that synthesizes lipids?
It is the smooth ER. They also produce lysosmes and peroxisomes
Where can one view images of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
To view images of smooth endoplasmic reticulum one could look for biology books. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions with the production in several metabolic processes, it is "smooth" because it is not studded with ribosomes.
What organelle functions as a pathway to ship proteins and is dotted with ribosomes?
Endoplasmic Reticulum!
How are the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus related?
In microbiology cells ( cytology).
How are the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi and apparatus related?
In microbiology cells ( cytology).
What are the functions of the ribosomes and Golgi bodies.?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum and then is transfered to the Golgi bodies.

Proteins are made in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
