A fine network of channels within cells aids in the movement of substances. This network is known as the?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum works as 'hallways' in the cell 'factory' through which information from the office travels.
What is A system of membranes that appears to be a factory for life processes and a cell communication system for chemical messages?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
What is the definition of rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum, (RER),an organelle composed of an interconnected network of internal membranes within eukaryotic cells; rough ER is associated with ribosomes, whereas smooth ER lacks ribosomes.
Where is endoplasmic reticulum located in cell?
They are located around the nucleus. Also works with the Ribosomes. As a matter of fact, it is connected to the Ribosomes.
What structure makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum different from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
The basic difference between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the rough ER has ribosomes latched on to it. This is what makes it "rough" and since the smooth ER does not have these organelles on it, it is smooth.The RER and the SER also differ in function. The rough ER is the cell's "membrane factory." Proteins and phospholipids that form part of all cellular membranes are manufactured in the rough ER. The smooth ER's main functions are lipid metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol.
What does endoplasmic reticulum campare to?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of protein synthesis within a cell. This is where new proteins are made. Therefore, the ER is commonly referred to as a protein factory
What is the nickname for a endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?
The ER. It depends on if you are referring to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) or the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
What does rough endoplasmic reticulum compared to?
A factory to make proteins.
What company or place does the endoplasmic reticulum resemble in the cell city?
Factory
Which cell organelle is known as the factory of ribosomes?
Endoplasmic reticulum
A fine network of channels within cells aids in the movement of substances. This network is known as the?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum works as 'hallways' in the cell 'factory' through which information from the office travels.
What part of the city is the Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum?
I would guess...an abandoned factory?
What is a good analogy for a endoplasmic reticulum?
A good analogy for ER is a hospital. It is a good analogy because they are all trying to play their part

What would a smooth er be compared to?
In a 'cell factory' smooth endoplasmic reticulum are the hallways.Factories have hallways through which information from the office travels to the workers in all departments.Similarly, the cell has smooth endoplasmic reticulum through which it is believed that messenger RNA travels from the nucleus to places where it is decoded.
