I have to say people really are getting on my nerves with such questions. Go read your Biology textbook. Do not use wiki answers for shortcut to pass your Biology exam. Answer: Rough ER is so called because it contains ribosomes the protein synthesizing machinery in the cell. Smooth ER (I know you will ask this later) is on the other hand without ribosomes attached to its membrane.

On the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it is rough due to the ribosomes that are on it. The Ribosomes create protein and send them into the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are made inside the nucleolus. Your welcome.

the ribosomes on top make the rough ER rough. And if you take off he ribosomes you get the smooth ER!!!

Because it has ribosomes attached/bound to it.

The ribosomes. When you look under a microscope the ribosome on the outer part of the ER looks rough.ie rough ER

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.
