No, the name Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum comes from the 'rough' appearance when seen under an electron microscope. The 'rough' bits are ribosomes which stud the surface. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum has no 'rough' bits ie. no ribosomes.

What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum rough?

On the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it is rough due to the ribosomes that are on it. The Ribosomes create protein and send them into the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are made inside the nucleolus.

What cell organelle is packed with ribosomes?

The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.


Which of these organelles is coverd in ribosomes?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes. In fact, it is called 'rough' because of the presence of ribosomes which give it a rough looking appearance. Technically, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is actually the region of the greater 'endoplasmic reticulum' where protein synthesis takes place. Another region of the endoplasmic reticulum is the 'smooth endoplasmic reticulum' where lipids are synthesized and other metabolic functions take place. The quantity of rough versus smooth endoplasmic reticulum is somewhat in flux and varies based on the needs of the cell.


What is the function of the endoplasmic and reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes and helps produce most of the proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have these ribosomes, and is almost solely for producing lipids.


What does rough endoplasmic reticulum have embedded on its surface?

Ribosomes are embedded on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, and their presence gives the rough endoplasmic reticulum its characteristic bumpy appearance.
