What is the endoplasmic reticulim?

Answer 1

Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules, vesicles and sacs that are interconnected. They may serve specialized functions in the cell including protein synthesis, sequestration of calcium, production of steroids, storage and production of glycogen, and insertion of membrane proteins. The first part of this presentation will focus on rough endoplasmic reticulum which gets its name from the presence of ribosomes on its surface. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is repsonible for the production of the protein and lipid components of most of the cell's organelles. The ER contains a great amount of folds - but the membrane forms a single sheet enclosing a single closed sac. This internal space is called the ER lumen. The ER is additionally responsible for moving proteins and other carbohydrates. There are two types of ER - rough, which is coated with ribosomes, and smooth, which isn't.

Answer 2

The endoplasmic reticulum is like the postal system for the cell

Endoplasmic recticulum is the sac like structure involved in the manufacture, process and transport of chemical compounds within the cell. It is located in close association with the nucleus, with nucleus outer membrane being continuous with the membrane of the endoplasmic recticulum. It was discovered by the Porter. ER is absent in in all the prokaryotes and even in the eukaryotic cell such as Mammal's RBC, egg and the embroyonic cell. ER is poorly developed in the rapidly dividing cells.ER is composed of 1.Cisterane ( flattened sac like)

2. Tubules and

3. Vesicels

Functions of the endoplasmic recticulum

1. cytoskeleton
2. helps in the intracellur and intercellular transportation
3. formation of the nuclear membrane and cell membrane
4. formation of the vacoules, lysosomes, glyoxysomes, Golgi bodies, exine of the pollen grains
5. detoxification of the toxic substance

Answer 3

The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle in the cell that is make up of flattened network of tubules sacs. It serves various functions like production of proteins, quality control, protein folding and so much more.

Answer 4

The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle in the cell. It is a folded membrane that connects to the nuclear envelope.

Answer 5

It is a network of membrane that transport materials.

Answer 6

Endoplasmic Reticulum is what trasports materials throughout the cell also known as the transportation highway

Answer 7

it is an eukaryotic organelle. It produces lysomes,glyoxisomes,lipids etc
