Smooth ER is like a factory, or processing plant, that makes fats and certain hormones (steroids), processes carbohydrates, and controls calcium, and helps in detoxification.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is like a manufacturing plant, much like a factory, where proteins and lipids (fats) are made. This is also where things are packaged into boxed and sent off to different places. In the cell the smooth ER is a network of membrane bound bodies which lack ribosomes (the molecules used in protein synthesis) and its primary function is to modify, encapsulate and transport newly synthesized proteins and lipids which will be secreted or remain in the cytoplasm as membrane bound vesicles. The smooth ER can also be compared to a highway, or a protein and lipid highway, if you will. It is sometimes called the transitional ER because it contains exit sites from which transport vesicles carrying these proteins and lipids bud off for transport to the Golgi apparatus. It is usually prominent in cells that specialize in lipid (fat) metabolism and synthesis.
The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
The main difference is in their appearance: rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough texture, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and appears smooth. Functionally, rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and membrane protein production, while smooth ER plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes.
Ribosomes are found on the rough ER, which are responsible for protein synthesis. Smooth ER does not have ribosomes.
No, they do not. Prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles such as rough endoplasmic reticulum. The 70s ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells are therefore free in the cytoplasm as opposed to attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Smooth is to rough as calm is to turbulent.
Rough ER has numerous ribosomes on its surface. These are absent on smooth ER. Smooth ER studded with ribosomes. Rough ER transport of materials.
Rough ER looks like a maze and smooth ER looks like a sculpture. Another thing is that the Rough ER has ribosomes on it while the Smooth ER doesnt.
Rough ER has ribosomes on it, smooth ER does not
The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.
Ribosomes are found in rough ER while they are not found in smooth ER. These are what give the "rough" appearance.
what structure is found on the rough er that is noyt found on the smooth er
The difference between rough and smooth is the texture. Rough things have a bumpy, abrasive texture. Smooth things have are not rough.
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
A rough er has ribosomes while a soft er does not
