rough endoplasmic reticulum[RER] has ribosomes attached to it giving a rough appearance thereby deriving its name.

smooth endoplasmic reticulum[SER] is devoid of ribosomes.

RER- involved in protein synthesis as ribosomes are concerned with protein synthesis.

SER-concerned with lipid synthesis in intestinal cells&

with steroid formation in adrenals

What is on rough endoplasmic reticulum that is not on smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes make RER "rough". SER is smooth because it has none. RER makes proteins because of the ribosomes and SER makes lipids.


Which cellular organelles are membrane bound?

rer, ser, ribosomes, cytoskeleton


Explain the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is studded with ribosomes, giving it a rough appearance and involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes. RER plays a major role in the production of secretory and membrane proteins, while SER is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones.


Are ribosomes found on the RER?

yes they are attached with RER and therefore give the rough appearance to them as compared wtih SER


How is rough endoplasmic recticulum different from smooth endoplasmic recticulum?

What are the names of the structures of the cell?

Some cell structures are the cell membrane, the nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria, RER and SER, ribosomes and cell walls in plants.


Could you clarify the difference between 'ser' and 'sir' in terms of their usage and meaning"?

"Ser" is a Spanish verb meaning "to be," while "sir" is an English honorific used to address a man respectfully.


What is the rough endoplasmic recticulum?

It's an organelle of the cell attached to the outer nuclear membrane. In contrast to the smooth endoplasmatic reticulum (SER), the RER is seeded with ribosomes on its membranes. These ribosomes produce proteins which are either transported inside the RER, or incorporated in the RER-membrane. Parts of this membrane will come loose of the RER and be transported to the Golgi complex and afterwards to the cell membrane or other organelles. This way, proteins inside the RER can eventually be secreted, and proteins in the membrane can end up in the cell membrane.


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)


What is The scientific definition of SER?

The definition I believe you are looking for is Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum. Unlike RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum the SER does not contain ribosomes. Depending on the area, SER has different roles. The SER has increased surface area for the action or storage of key enzymes and their products. Foe example, SER in muscle cells serves to store calcium. SER in liver cells contain enzymes needed to detoxify drugs (just to name a few).


Explain the fundamental difference between ser and estar?

The fundamental difference between "ser" and "estar" is in their usage. Ser is used for more permanent traits, and for identification of material, origin, and possession. Estar is used for less permanent traits, to situate things within spatial and temporal contexts, and to form progressive tenses.
