a. The primary or the most important function of the endoplasmic reticulum is to transport the proteins, which are made by ribosomes, throughout the cell. b. A membrane network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials.

The function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulim is the production of lipids and detoxification of organic chemicals into safe water soluble compounds.


Ribosomes are attached to the rough part of the endoplasmic reticulum that...?

Ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is responsible for synthesizing proteins. This association allows the ribosomes to transfer newly synthesized proteins directly into the endoplasmic reticulum for processing and modification before they are transported to their final destination within or outside the cell.


Which membrane marks and sorts molecules to be sent to different destinations?

Smooth ER (Endoplasmic Reticulim) detoxifys enzymes and send it to Rough ER which then ships it to the Golgi apparatus, which then marks and sorts molecules to be sent to different destinations.

What is the role of the endoplasmic in a cell?

Do you mean the endoplasmic reticulum? (aka ER for short)If so, ribosomes stick to the endoplasmic reticulum where they work together to make proteins.Also, ERs without ribosomes help to transport sugars.


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.


Does the prokaryotic cell have endoplasmic reticulum?

No, prokaryotic cells do not have endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that plays a role in protein and lipid synthesis. Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles.


What organelle is attached to the nuclear envelope?

I don't think there is cell organelle surrounding the nuclear membrane because the nuclear membrane has many openings for nuclear traffic so i don't think there is any thing around it.but if you think i am wrong i am sorry:)
