The dots are a way of indicating ribosomes that are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Generally the ER in a cell is asociated with many ribosomes, which are the machinery that produce proteins. This is in fact called a rough ER, to distinguish it from smooth ER that does not have ribosomes attached to it.
Within a cell, ribosomes will manufacture proteins and then insert many of them directly into the ER for modification (such as the addition of carbohydrate groups).

What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
Transport of molecules within animal cells occurs in the what?
the Endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the function of Rough endoplasmic reticulum in animal cell?
Endoplasmic reticulum is like a transport and manufacturing pipeline, for many biochemical compounds. Endoplasmic reticulum function is dependent on its type. There are three types of endoplasmic reticulum, which are:Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)
What organelles is covered in ribosome?
Type your answer here... Rough endoplasmic reticulum
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
Its called smooth Endoplasmic reticulum a.k.a Smooth ER
Which organelle looks like a maze without dots?
I believe it is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What are the tiny dense dots on the edge of the endoplasmic reticulum that are involved in protein synthesis?
Ribosomes
What are the tiny dense dots on the edge of the endoplasmic reticulum that are in volved in protein synthesis?
Ribosomes used in transcription
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
What transport materials throughout cytoplasm?
Endoplasmic Reticulum, or Reticulum for short.
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
What color is a endoplasmic reticulum?
the endoplasmic reticulum is transparent
System of membranes that helps move substances through a cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum. Those with ribosomes are called "rough" without are called smooth.
What consists of a network of intracellular membranes with attached ribosomes?
Rough endoplasmatic reticulumRough endoplasmic reticulum
What is a surface for chemical activity in a cell?
The surface for chemical activity in a cell is the endoplasmic reticulum. It is a membranous network found in the cytoplasm.
