What is the job of an endoplasmic reticulum?

Answer 1

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 to the Golgi apparatus, to the plasma membrane, to the lysosomes, or wherever else needed.

There are two types of ER - rough, which is coated with ribosomes, and smooth, which isn't.

Answer 2

The endoplasmic reticulum serves as a site for protein and lipid synthesis in a cell. It also plays a role in protein folding and modification before they are transported to their final destination in the cell.

Answer 3

The job of the endoplasmic reticulum is to act as the packaging system. The endoplasmic reticulum is a large part of putting together proteins for the cell. Some of these proteins are even stored in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer 4

In a eukaryotic cell, there are tipically two types of Endoplasmic reticulums (ER): the rough ER and the smooth ER

The rough ER contains structures called ribosomes on its surface and is responsible for the systhesis of proteins in the cell

The smooth ER is involved with transport of newly synthesized proteins

Answer 5

First phases of glycosylation of proteins proceeds there, lipids are synthetized there and mainly, intermembrane proteins and proteins to be excreted out from the cell are synthetized into inside of ER (ribosomes synthetizing these proteins land on the ER surface and synthetize new protein directly into ER).

Answer 6

The endoplasmic reticulum are a network of tubes inside a cell that transport and synthesize useful chemicals to different parts of the cell. It is NOT where the nucleus is stored.

Answer 7

its job is to transport material in the cell

Answer 8

The endoplasmic reticulum has several roles in the cell. Its primary roles are folding protein molecules and transporting proteins to the Golgi apparatus.

Answer 9

the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of passageways for transporting materials from one place to another.

Answer 10

Protein (and lipid) synthesis, packaging and storage.
