What is the difference between smooth and rough er?

Rough er has ribosomes attached but smooth er does not. Rough ER is covered with ribosomes and looks "rough" through an electron microscope. Smooth ER lacks the ribosomes and appears as a smooth membrane. On the lighter side: The way it feels to the touch?


What is the difference between a rough ER and a Smooth ER?

The Smooth ER has no ribosomes on it and the Rough ER does. :) How simple is that?


Why does paper have rough and smooth sides?

Paper has a rough and a smooth side because before paper is really paper, it is a fluid paste. This paste is spread in a thin layer across a very very fine wire screen which allows it to dry on both sides evenly. The top of the liquid paper forms a perfectly flat, smooth surface, as any resting liquid does. The bottom side is slightly roughed by the texture of the wire mesh.


Rough Endoplasmic reticulum is connected to what membrane?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), is given it's name because ribosomes attach to the outer side of the membrane.


Describe the characteristics of the endoplasmic reticulum?

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 is a left hand shoe for bowling?

House shoes, and most less-expensive bowling shoes, are ambidextrous: they have identical smooth leather soles on the bottom of both shoes. Many professional and high-average bowlers, however, use shoes that have a smooth leather sole for the sliding foot and a rubber (or a rough leather, such as canvas) sole for better traction with the other foot. Since almost all left-handed bowlers slide on their right foot when releasing the ball, a set of left-handed shoes would have the smooth leather on that side.


Definition of your side of the fence?

Well many fences are made with panels overlapping laths which have a rough and a smooth side (the rough side is the one where the supporting structure of the panels is visible). The convention is that if, on the deeds of the land, maintenance of the fence is your responsibility (you own it) then you erect the fence such that the neighbour sees the smooth side (out of courtesy). The fence therefore physically divides a piece of land between the ownership of two people and "your side of the fence' is the side with the land which you own. Further depending on who owns the fence your side of the fence could be rough or smooth.

On which side do you print a transparency?

One should print at the rough side of the transparency, the smooth side will not absorb ink. Make sure that the printer supports transparencies.


How are rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum different?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum secrete proteins that go outside the cell, and they have ribosomes attached to them. Smooth ER function in transport as well as detoxification.The cisternae (enclosed spaces in the membranes) of SER tend to be more tubular.


What property is smooth and rough?

What is a Bridle belt?

Bridle leather is leather that is treated on both sides. It is designed for use in bridles, so must be comfortable for a horse to wear next to the skin. Therefore the treatment of the flesh side is as important as the grain side as the flesh side is typically worn next to the horses skin and must be smooth.
