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.

Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?

Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
