Rough ER is rough because it has ribosomes bound to it that's used to make proteins for secretion. It also modifies proteins to make glycoproteins (proteins with carbs attached to them).

Is endoplasmic reticulum found in human cells?

Yes, endoplasmic reticulum is found in human cells. It plays a crucial role in protein and lipid synthesis, processing, and transportation within the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is divided into two regions: rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which has ribosomes attached to its surface, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which lacks ribosomes.

What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum rough?

On the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it is rough due to the ribosomes that are on it. The Ribosomes create protein and send them into the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are made inside the nucleolus.
