The rough ER is the site for protein synthesis within the cell. It receives "information" or mRNA from the nucleus of the cell that holds the code for the exact type of protein that needs to be created. It is known as the rough ER because it contains ribosomes on it's walls; the ribosomes are what synthesize the creation of proteins.
No, endoplasmic reticulum are linear pathways in the cell cytoplsm.
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.
Endoplasmic reticulum act as a relay station between transportation of materials inside the cell. It have canals where chemicals can pass through. In summary, just like a transportation system. There are rough endoplasmic reticulum as well, which contains spots of Ribosomes on it.
Smooth and rough. Smooth ER does not have attached ribosomes. Rough ER has attached ribosomes.
what does a rough endoplasmic reticulum do for a cell
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a clear, tubular system of tunnels throughout the cell. It transports materials like proteins around the cell and is found in both plant and animals cells.
a rough endoplasmic reticulum is something thats in a cell that is conected with ribosomes

Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Bound ribosomes are found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum in a cell. Free ribosomes are found scattered throughout the cell.
