They are both the same thing except for one thing that is the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes around it .

Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?

Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.


What is the main difference of smooth and rough ER?

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached and helps in protein synthesisSmooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no ribosomes


What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?

The endoplasmic reticulum is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that synthesize proteins, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification.


What is the difference between a rough ER and a soft?

rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached .helps in protein synthesis Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no ribosomes


What structures distinguish rough ER from smooth ER?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not.


Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p


How can you tell rough endoplasmic- reticulum from smooth endoplasmic- reticulum?

Rough ER has Ribosomes embedded within it, and smooth ER does not.


What is an important difference between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

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


How many are endoplasmic reticulum?

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.


What makes up of two types rough and smooth each with its own function?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What is found is rough endoplastmic reticulm?

ribosomes are on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is what differentiates it from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum


What organelles that are sometimes referred to as rough or smooth depending on the structure?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle referred to as rough or smooth. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
