Best Answer

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

Are ribosomes found on the RER?

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


What are the main function of cell?

NUCLEAS AND MITOCHONDRIA AND RER/SER


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?

What are two types of ER?

The two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) are: *Smooth ER ( SER ) *Rough ER ( RER )


How is rough endoplasmic recticulum different from smooth endoplasmic recticulum?

rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached to it but SER doesn't


Explain the fundamental difference between ser and estar?

In general, "ser" is used for permanent or inherent characteristics, while "estar" is used for temporary states or conditions. "Ser" is for identity and essence (e.g., nationality, profession), while "estar" is for conditions and locations (e.g., emotions, positions).


What does smooth endoplasmic do?

The SER makes lipids, unlike the RER which makes proteins.


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.


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)
