Unlike the rough ER, the smooth ER is not studded with ribosomes. This gives it a smooth appearance.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.
rough endoplasmic reticulum
The ER. It depends on if you are referring to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) or the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
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.
The system of intricate passageways inside cells is called the endoplasmic reticulum. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and detoxification within the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum can be further divided into rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes attached) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (without ribosomes).

It is the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Many ribosomes are attached to the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. That is why it is called " rough. "
Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.
