rough endoplasmic reticulum looks rough under a microscope because it is covered by little ribosomes, that help with protein synthesis. The reason smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not apear rough is because it's synthesis is of lipids and steroids and it therefore does not need these ribosomes.
The rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) looks rough under a microsope bcoz ribosomes are attached to it.
Ribosomes attached to the rough ER make the surface appear bumpy.
Ribosomes are embeded in rough ER.That makes it rough.
They are studded with ribosomes
Rough.
With ribosomes it appears rough, but without them it appears smooth
Rough er has ribosomes attached but smooth er does not. Rough ER is covered with ribosomes and looks "rough" through an electron microscope. Smooth ER lacks the ribosomes and appears as a smooth membrane. On the lighter side: The way it feels to the touch?
The rough ER is a long coiled tube that looks like a intestine. If it is rough it has ribosomes traveling on it.
I have to say people really are getting on my nerves with such questions. Go read your biology textbook. Do not use wiki answers for shortcut to pass your Biology exam. Answer: Rough ER is so called because it contains ribosomes the protein synthesizing machinery in the cell. Smooth ER (I know you will ask this later) is on the other hand without ribosomes attached to its membrane.
Rough.
With ribosomes it appears rough, but without them it appears smooth
I believe you are referring to the Rough ER, or the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It has many ribosomes on it which look like little black dots under a microscope and therefore it appears rough.
the presence of ribosomes Many small ribosomes are attached to the surfaces of the rough ER. The rough ER processes proteins made by the ribosomes.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) appear rough when observed under a microscope because the outer region of the RER is studded with ribosomes which form sites for protein synthesis.
yes you can see them under a microscope and by the way have a good day (:
Both plants and animals do have rough ER. Once you observe cell in powerful microscope you can see ER around the nucleuolus of the cell.
Rough er has ribosomes attached but smooth er does not. Rough ER is covered with ribosomes and looks "rough" through an electron microscope. Smooth ER lacks the ribosomes and appears as a smooth membrane. On the lighter side: The way it feels to the touch?

ribosomes
Ribosomes make Rough ER have a rough appearance. Smooth ER does not have ribosomes, and therefore has a smooth appearance.
Smooth ER, endoplasmic reticulum, does not have ribosomes, and Rough ER does.rough er is studded with ribosomes while smooth er is not.
