There are tow types of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Smooth ER and Rough ER

  • Smooth ER - Breaks down carbohydrates; synthesis of lipids, phospholipids, steroids; helps to detoxify blood; stores Calcium ions
  • Rough ER - Helps with protein synthesis; has ribosomes

it acts as an intracellular highway through the cell. it carries and sends materials through
The rough ER makes proteins, which are then sent to the Golgi bodies to be refined and released into the cell in secretory vesicles.
the endoplasmic reticulum(otherwise known as ER) transports nutrients and fluid around the cell in most living mammals.
Endoplasmic reticulum in a cell transports proteins made from the ribosomes around the cell. It can also be smooth or rough, having no ribosomes being smooth and having ribosomes being rough.

An endoplasmic reticulum is a part of a eukaryotic cell that carries protein to and from a nucleus. there are two types of endoplasmic reticulums, smooth and rough.

Why endoplasmic reticulum is called as transporting channels of the cell?

endoplasmic reticulum is a intracellular trasportation channel carrying cell materials with in the cell,so it is called as transporting channels of the cell


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:)

Is smooth endoplasmic reticulum essential for cell?

It helps with the processing of lipids, so yes.


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.


Where can you found endoplasmic reticulum?

In eukaryote cells attached to the cell's nucleus. Surrounds it, so to speak.


Does the rough endoplasmic reticulum provide synthesis of the cell membrane?

no. at leats i dont think so.


What is the job of the endoplasmic?

it's a network of passageways that carries materials from one part of of the cell to another. The endoplasmic reticulum sends it to the Golgi body so the Golgi body can distribute it. The endoplasmic reticulum is located next to the nucleus. They have ribosomes on it.

What are the cell's highways?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is often called hallways. So if the cell can be seen as having a number of connection cities and towns as the organelles, then the SER would be it. The cell has smooth endoplasmic reticulum through which it is believed that messenger RNA travels from the nucleus to places where it is decoded.


What effect do you think this would have on the other organelles in the cell suppose the endoplasmic reticulum of a cell was damaged?

the fuction of the endoplasmic reticulum is transport. be it of proteins or lipids so other organells will suffer due to lack of necessary nutrients needed for their survival n growth.


How does the Endoplasmic Reticulum relate to football?

nuclear membrane is like football central court, nucleos is like officall. endoplasmic reticulum is around the nuclear mambrane so we can say that endoplasmic reticulum is like football audience
