To carry essential substances from one part of the cell to another and provide a little rigidity to the cell.

Basically, the modification of proteins and their shipping to the various parts of the cell and outside the cell in the rough ER. And the smooth ER has to do with the modification of lipids

ANSWER

Rough endoplasmic reticulum functions as;

-protein translocation, folding and transport of protein;

-glycosylation (this is the relation of a saccharides group with a hydroxyl or amino functional group to form a glucoside);

-disulfide bond formation (disulfide bonds stabilize the tertiary and quaternary structures of many proteins);

-membrane synthesis.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum functions as;

-synthesis of lipid

-metabolism of carbohydrates;

-detoxification function;

-major storage and released site of inter cellular calcium ions

Because they don't have the metabolism or apparatus to do so. They lack ribossomes, rough endoplasmatic reticulum, a cell... They must infect a cell that has a means to reproduce itself in order to reproduce.
