The endoplasmic reticulum is a cell organelle that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It is responsible for folding and modifying newly synthesized proteins before they are transported to their final destinations within or outside the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum also helps in quality control by ensuring that only properly folded proteins are released from the organelle.

What organelle is responsable for protein and lipid synthesis?

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) is responsible for lipid synthesis however ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are also present in endoplasmic reticulum - rough E.R. Smooth E.R. contains no ribosomes.

Is smooth er involved in protein synthesis?

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not involved in protein synthesis. That is the job of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which gets its name from the ribosomes embedded on its surface.

The Actual site of protein synthesis is?

The endoplasmic reticulum

Does the endoplasmic reticulum have oragnells?

The endoplasmic reticulum does not possess organelles, but it has got ribosomes attached to it , which helps in protein synthesis.

What does the ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum do in a cell?

A site for protein synthesis..

What metabolism is rough endoplasmic reticulum associated with?

protein synthesis

Which of these organelles folds proteins?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

What is the function of ribosomes on endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.

What is sprinkled with ribosomes?

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, and The Cytoplasm

What does rough endoplasmic contain that smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not?

Ribosomes.

Two main functions of endoplasmic reticulum?

Protein synthesis: The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis and processing of proteins. Lipid synthesis: The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification of harmful substances.

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.
