Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle present in cells. There are 2 types:

- smooth endoplasmic reticulum

- rough endoplasmic reticulum

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface whereas the smooth one doesn't

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum acts as a storage organelle. It is important in the creation and storage of steroids, and it also stores ions in solution that the cell may need later.
