They are both an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles and cisternae. The general structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is an extensive membrane network of cisternae (saclike structures) held together by the cytoskeleton of the cell. They are both part of the endomembrane system. Both are also connected to the nuclear envelope.

What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?

The endoplasmic reticulum is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that synthesize proteins, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification.


What organelles that are sometimes referred to as rough or smooth depending on the structure?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle referred to as rough or smooth. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.


How many are endoplasmic reticulum?

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.


Distinguish between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes, or the things that make proteins in the cell, are attached to it, making it rough. The smooth one is smooth because their are no ribosomes attached to it.


Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes.
