Endoplasmic reticulum is best described as a?
The endoplasmic reticulum is best described as a network of membranes within cells that is involved in the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins and lipids. It can be classified into rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes on its surface) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (lacking ribosomes).
What cell organelle is packed with ribosomes?
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.
What happen when a membrane network lacking ribosomes and functions in alcohol detoxification?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What do attached ribosomes do?
Ribosomes attach to the Endoplasmic Reticulum forming Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have embedded on its surface?
Ribosomes are embedded on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and their presence gives the rough endoplasmic reticulum its characteristic bumpy appearance.
Are ribosomes always found in the endoplasmic reticulum?
No, ribosomes are not always found in the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum are called rough endoplasmic reticulum, while ribosomes in the cytoplasm are called free ribosomes.
What organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?
Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is sprinkled with ribosomes?
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, and The Cytoplasm
What are attached to ribosomes?
Fixed ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosomes are organelles that are suspended in the cytosol which is bound to the endoplasmic reticulum.
What would endoplasmic reticulum represent?
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes
Which of these organelles folds proteins?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
What surrounds ribosomes?
Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm of a cell. They can also be associated with the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells, forming the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in a cell.
