Endoplasmic reticulum is found in what?

The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle of cells, and is comprised of a membranous network of cisternae.


What is the structure of the reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum has network of cisternae. Cisterna is phospholipid membrane that encloses a space (lumen) from cytosol. Cytosol contains water and macromolecules. Cisternae are held together by cytoskeleton.Endoplasmic reticulum containing ribosomes (small spherical organelles) on its membrane is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.


Where is the endoplasmic reticulum found on a eukaryotic cell?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an eukaryotic organelle that forms an interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae within cells.

What cell is found in endoplasmic reticulum?

It is found in all types of cells except except prokaryotes. :)


What the structure of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

It contains flattened sacs called cisternae. Ribosomes are attached to outer surface of its membrane. It is specialized to synthesize proteins.


Why is endoplasmic reticulum nickname ER?

The endoplasmic reticulum is often abbreviated as ER because of its extensive network of membrane-bound tubules and sacs that resemble flattened sacs called cisternae. The abbreviation ER is a shortened version of its full name that makes it easier to refer to and remember.


What can be found in the cisternae of RER?

In the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), you can find ribosomes attached to the cytoplasmic side. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. The cisternae act as a site for the folding and modification of proteins before they are transported to other cellular locations or secreted outside the cell. The RER is particularly abundant in cells that produce large amounts of proteins, such as plasma cells and pancreatic cells.
