There are ribosomes on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum - these are ovular in shape and so make the surface appear 'rough'.
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis - so this the rough ER is involved in the production of protein.

∙ 14y agoit is rough beaceuse of the ribosomes that are sitting on it. the smooth RER have none.

What is structures are found on the surface of rough endoplamic reticulum but in smooth endopasmic reticulum?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is characterized by ribosomes on the surface. When viewed (using an electron microscope) they appear as black dots. Ribosomes are responsible for translating mRNA into protein and use tRNA to obtain the amino acids needed for the process. Ribosomes are actually composed of two subunits (30S and 50S in humans).
How can you tell rough ER and smooth ER?
The Rough ER has a surface covered by mitochondria - which appear as small circles, and make the surface "rough" in appearance. The Smooth ER does not have these ribosomes, and so the surface is just one smooth line.
What is the difference between the rough er and the smothe er?
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
What is an ER with ribosomes?
Rough ER has ribosomes on it.Thats why it is called rough.
Two types of ER?
Rough and smooth rough ER has ribosomes
What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum appear rough under the microscope?
the presence of ribosomes Many small ribosomes are attached to the surfaces of the rough ER. The rough ER processes proteins made by the ribosomes.

How can you tell an rough er from a smooth er?
A rough er has ribosomes while a soft er does not
What is the difference between rough er and the smoth er?
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
What is the difference between the rough er and the smothe er?
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
How can you tell rough ER from the smooth ER?
Rough ER has numerous ribosomes on its surface. These are absent on smooth ER. Smooth ER studded with ribosomes. Rough ER transport of materials.
How does rough ER differ for smooth ER?
rough ER has a higher proportion of ribosomes within, hence the 'rough' appearance
What is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes while smoth ER is not.
What is is the difference between rough ER and smooth ER?
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes while smoth ER is not.
What is the difference between the rough ER and the smooth ER?
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes while smoth ER is not.
How can you rough ER from smooth ER?
Rough ER looks like a maze and smooth ER looks like a sculpture. Another thing is that the Rough ER has ribosomes on it while the Smooth ER doesnt.
