How can you tell from a rough from smooth ER?

The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.


What are the two forms of endoplasm reticulum?

Smooth and rough. Smooth ER does not have attached ribosomes. Rough ER has attached ribosomes.


The rough ER is the portion of the ER that?

The rough ER is the portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that has ribosomes attached to its surface. These ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, producing proteins that are then transported and processed within the rough ER.


Is smooth er covered in ribosomes?

No, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) does not have ribosomes attached to its surface. In contrast, the rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which gives it a "rough" appearance. Smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes in the cell.


What is the different between Er and smooth Er?

rough- ribosomes attached smooth- no ribosomes


Why is the endoplasmic reticulum found as rough and smooth?

if ribosomes are found attached to ER (endoplasmic reticulum) it is called rough ER and it is responsible for protein synthesis. but, if no ribosomes are attached to ER it is called smooth ER and is mainly responsible for lipid synthesis.


How can you tell rough ER and smooth ER?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a "rough" appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis and processing. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes, appears smooth, and is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis, as well as detoxification processes.

How does rough endoplasmic reticulum differ from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a network of intracellular membranes, it links the plasma membrane and other membraneous organelles. it is involved in the production, processing, transport and storage of materials within a cell.Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER), is assosisated with ribosomes, where proteins are made.Smooth endoplasmic reticulum(SER), lacks ribosomes and is involved in the metabolism of certain compounds and synthesis of lipids.


What ER with ribosome attached to its surface?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)


Some ribosomes are embedded into?

They can be attached to Rough ER(Endoplasmic Reticulum)


What organelle is attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes are the organelles attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes play a key role in protein synthesis, and their presence on the rough endoplasmic reticulum provides a platform for translation and processing of newly synthesized proteins.
