The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells involved in protein synthesis and processing. Its analog in a manufacturing plant would be the assembly line where raw materials are processed and transformed into finished products. Just as the rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface for protein synthesis, the assembly line may have specialized machinery or workers performing specific tasks in the production process.
The main difference between rough ER and smooth ER is the presence of ribosomes. Rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which gives it a rough appearance, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the RNA component of ribosomes, the cellular machinery for protein synthesis. It is not physically attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but ribosomes bound to rRNA, known as rough ER, are associated with the ER and play a role in translating proteins that are destined for secretion or incorporation into membranes.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is formed through the extension and branching of membrane tubules that lack ribosomes, in contrast to rough ER which has ribosomes attached to its surface. The smooth ER plays an important role in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium storage within the cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes found within almost all eukaryotic cells. The membranes are connected to the membrane of the cell’s nucleus and are important for many cellular processes such as protein production and the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates. The endoplasmic reticulum includes both the smooth ER and the rough ER. The smooth ER is a smooth membrane and has no ribosomes, whereas the rough ER has ribosomes that are used to produce proteins.
ER stands for endoplasmic reticulum. In Latin, reticulummeans "little net". ER surrounds the nucleus and comes in two forms: rough (ribosomes embedded in membrane) and smooth (no ribosomes).
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
Rough ER has Ribosomes and Smooth ER does not.
A rough er has ribosomes while a soft er does not
Rough ER has numerous ribosomes on its surface. These are absent on smooth ER. Smooth ER studded with ribosomes. Rough ER transport of materials.
rough ER has a higher proportion of ribosomes within, hence the 'rough' appearance
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes while smoth ER is not.
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes while smoth ER is not.
Rough ER looks like a maze and smooth ER looks like a sculpture. Another thing is that the Rough ER has ribosomes on it while the Smooth ER doesnt.
Ribosomes are found in rough ER while they are not found in smooth ER. These are what give the "rough" appearance.
what structure is found on the rough er that is noyt found on the smooth er
rough ER, helps produce proteins and is covered in ribosomes.
The rough ER had ribosomes attached while the smooth ER had no ribosome attached.
