What would endoplasmic reticulum represent?

Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes


Could a cell live without an endoplasmic reticulum?

No, a cell could not live without an endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is essential for protein and lipid synthesis, processing, and transport within the cell. Without this organelle, the cell would not be able to properly function and would eventually die.


Would a cell survive without smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Yes, a cell can survive without smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) as it is not essential for the basic functions of a cell. SER is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and calcium storage, but these functions can be compensated for by other organelles or processes within the cell.


What organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?

Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What is a series of highly folded membranes suspended in the cytoplasm with nothing attached to its outside?

That would be the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), specifically the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. It lacks ribosomes on its surface, unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis, metabolism, and detoxification processes.


What would endoplasmic reticulum represent in a city?

A highway/road :)


What are the bumps that can be found in great abundance on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes would be the simple answer, but they only bind to the endoplasmic reticulum once it begins to synthesize a protein. Other bumpy structures you may encounter on the endoplasmic reticulum are proteins and vesicles.


Why is the endoplasmic reticulum's and ribosome's function important?

The endoplasmic reticulum is important for protein and lipid synthesis, while ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. These functions are crucial for producing the necessary molecules for cell structure, function, and signaling pathways. Without the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, cells would not be able to create essential proteins and lipids needed for their survival.


What would happen if a cell didnt have a endoplasmic reticulum?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth er) has two main purposes. The first is that it contains enzymes that synthesize lipids. These lipids are vital to the cell membrane, which, is composed of a lipid bilayer. Furthermore, it also "packages" the substances synthesized by the rough er and the ribosomes (amino acids) to the golgi apparatus where they can be transported out of the cell. Therefore, without a smooth er, the cell would be unable to synthesize a cell membrane and it would be unable to transport vital materials to other parts of the cells. The cell would probably be unable to function and die.


Is smooth endoplasmic reticulum prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

is the endoplasmic reticulum an Eukaryotic cell?


What would be a good analogy for a rough endoplasmic reticulum?

..your ass..lol
