Rough ER is a cell organelle attached to the nuclear envelope of the nucleus. Its' job is to create and refine polypeptides into proteins with the help of the attached ribosomes, giving it the 'rough' look, and distinguishing it from the smooth ER, which makes lipids although is not attached to the nucleus, nor does it have ribosomes present.
