The endoplasmic reticulum is found in most cells. It's job is to transport proteins around the cell, ensuring it's survival.
It's long, and curved in shape, and are in "stacks". It's made out of stacks of membranes. It is almost shaped like a 'wifi signal'.
There are two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum: smooth and rough. The rough endoplasmic reticulum appears bumpy, as it will be carrying ribosomes. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum will not appear bumpy and will carry no ribosomes.

What transport materials throughout cytoplasm?
Endoplasmic Reticulum, or Reticulum for short.
System of membranes that helps move substances through a cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum. Those with ribosomes are called "rough" without are called smooth.
What consists of a network of intracellular membranes with attached ribosomes?
Rough endoplasmatic reticulumRough endoplasmic reticulum
What is a surface for chemical activity in a cell?
The surface for chemical activity in a cell is the endoplasmic reticulum. It is a membranous network found in the cytoplasm.

endoplasmic reticulum
What transport materials throughout cytoplasm?
Endoplasmic Reticulum, or Reticulum for short.
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
