What does rough endoplasmic reticulum compared to?

A factory to make proteins.


Which organelle sysnthesizes new proteins?

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum synthesizes proteins, and the Golgi Apparatus modifies and packages them.


Function of rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is in charge of making proteins and exporting proteins.


What are the chemical factories in cells that produce proteins?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum produces proteins for the cell. The cell feeds off the proteins, hence the "food factory." I hope that helps.


What organelles that making proteins called?

free ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum (which has ribosomes on it) take mRNA and translate it into proteins.


Proteins are the building blocks of all the tissues in the body what cell organelles are directly responsible for making and packaging proteins?

Ribosomes (usually on the rough endoplasmic reticulum) are responsible for making the proteins, and the Golgi apparatus is responsible for packaging the proteins.


What organelle is used for making proteins?

In a cell, ribosomes make proteins with amino acids based on the RNA blueprints copied from the DNA.


What is the function of the Golgi body production of ribosomes production of lipids production of proteins or production of vesicles?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum makes proteins. The Golgi acts as the shipping department if the cell is understood to be a protein factory.


What is the rough endoplasimc reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is "rough" because it has ribosomes latched on to it. The rough ER is the cell's "membrane factory." The proteins and phospholipids that form part of all cellular membranes are manufactured in the rough ER.


Distinguish between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes, or the things that make proteins in the cell, are attached to it, making it rough. The smooth one is smooth because their are no ribosomes attached to it.


What does the rough endoplasmic riticulum do?

Rough ER is rough because it has ribosomes bound to it that's used to make proteins for secretion. It also modifies proteins to make glycoproteins (proteins with carbs attached to them).


What is an synthesize proteins?

Proteins are made in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
