True or false rough endoplasmic reticulum appears rough?

True. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) appears rough because it is covered with ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis. The presence of ribosomes on the RER gives it a bumpy or rough appearance under a microscope.


Some ribosomes are embedded into?

They can be attached to Rough ER(Endoplasmic Reticulum)


What organelles is covered in ribosome?

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.


Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p

Who is responsible for membrane biogenesis 'rough endoplasmic reticulum' or 'smooth endoplasmic reticulum'?

GK Voeltz is the person responsible for membrane biogenesis "rough endoplasmic reticulum." This is because upon doing examinations and testing on smooth endoplasmic reticulum, the rough type was discovered.


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.


What is an Endoplasmic Reticulum with ribosomes?

They call it the rough endoplasmic reticulum, or rough ER


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.


What do smooth ER and rough ER look like?

Hi,Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum Is just a piece of ER that does not have Ribosomes on it, and Rough ER is just Endoplasmic reticulum that have ribosomes on them.this is a picture of them both with differences.


Why is the endoplasmic reticulum rough?

Because it is studded with ribosomes that cause it to be rough.
