What macromolecule makes up an endoplasmic reticulum?

The endoplasmic reticulum is mainly composed of lipids, such as phospholipids and cholesterol. Proteins are also present in the endoplasmic reticulum, serving various functions like aiding in protein synthesis and transport.


Endoplasmic reticulum that makes cholesterol and helps detoxify poisons?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for synthesizing cholesterol and helping detoxify poisons through the process of biotransformation. This organelle lacks ribosomes on its surface, giving it a smooth appearance and allows it to perform these specialized functions.


What makes the surface look bumpy on the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Presence of ribosomes on the membrane of endoplasmic reticulum makes the surface look bumpy.


What makes lipids?

The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.


Where does cholesterol breakdown in a cell take place?

Primarily in the mitochondria, but also in the endoplasmic reticulum.


What role in cholesterol synthesis and fat metabolism?

the smooth endoplasmic reticulum has the role in cholesterol synthesis, fat metabolism, and detoxification of drugs


Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes.

What makes endoplasmic reticulum rough?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum gets its "rough" appearance due to the presence of ribosomes attached to its surface. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, giving the rough endoplasmic reticulum its role in producing proteins for the cell.


What cell transports proteins?

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum for plant cells ONLY, or the golgi apperatus for animal cells scence animal cells do NOT have a Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum only a Endoplasmic Reticulum that makes the protiens.
