The rough ER is named so because it is studded in ribosomes.

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 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 organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?

Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.


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.


What makes endoplasmic reticulum rough?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum gets its "rough" appearance due to the presence of ribosomes attached to its surface. These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, giving the rough endoplasmic reticulum its role in producing proteins for the cell.

Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?

Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.
