The ER is a microscopic series of tunnels used in transport and storage. There are smooth ER (SER) and Rough ER (RER). The rough part of the ER are ribosomes. The RER is responsible for several specialized functions: protein translation, folding and transport of proteins to be used in the cell membrane (e.g. transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins), or to be secreted (exocytosed) from the cell. (The latter two with the aid of the Golgi apparatus). The SER is primarily responsible for lipid synthesis.
What else can I help you with?
Which cell organelle produces new membrane for the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the cell organelle responsible for producing new membrane for the cell. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which helps in protein synthesis and membrane production.
Hepatocytes have large amounts of what?
Hepatocytes have large amounts of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which is responsible for synthesizing and processing lipids, as well as detoxifying various substances in the liver. They also contain abundant mitochondria to meet the high energy demands of liver functions such as metabolism and detoxification. Additionally, hepatocytes have a high concentration of enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
What two organelles produces lipids?
The endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) and the golgi apparatus are organelles responsible for producing lipids in cells. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis, while the golgi apparatus modifies and packages lipids for distribution within the cell or for secretion.
What is the plural form of endoplasmic reticulum?
The plural form of endoplasmic reticulum is endoplasmic reticula.
What is the endoplasmic reticulim?
Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules, vesicles and sacs that are interconnected. They may serve specialized functions in the cell including protein synthesis, sequestration of calcium, production of steroids, storage and production of glycogen, and insertion of membrane proteins. The first part of this presentation will focus on rough endoplasmic reticulum which gets its name from the presence of ribosomes on its surface. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is repsonible for the production of the protein and lipid components of most of the cell's organelles. The ER contains a great amount of folds - but the membrane forms a single sheet enclosing a single closed sac. This internal space is called the ER lumen. The ER is additionally responsible for moving proteins and other carbohydrates. There are two types of ER - rough, which is coated with ribosomes, and smooth, which isn't.
How is rough endoplasmic recticulum different from smooth endoplasmic recticulum?
rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached to it but SER doesn't
What is an analogy for a endoplasmic recticulum?
no
What organelle is attached to the endoplasmic recticulum?
it is me :)
What were the bumps on the endoplasmic recticulum called?
Ribosomes.
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
What part of the cell can protein be found?
The Endoplasmic Recticulum
What is the smooth kind manufactures lipids?
the smooth endoplasmic recticulum (ER)
What is the function of rough endoplasmic recticulum in a cell?
help in protein synthesis ,,
What organelle might be found in the cytoplasm and on the surface of the Endoplasmic Recticulum?
Ribosomes
What is the rough endoplasmic recticulum job?
to make sure no chemical can get to the nucleas of the cell.
Smooth endoplastic recticulum?
Endoplasmic reticulum consisting of tubules and vesicles and is free of ribosomes
What does recticulum do?
Simple !An Endoplasmic Reticulum's ( ER ) main job is to transport protein in the cell.
