Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with protein-producing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance, hence its name. It works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with both the nuclear envelope and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in several metabolic processes; it contains enzymes, and it stores calcium ions in muscle cells. Lipid synthesis takes place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

What structures distinguish rough ER from smooth ER?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not.


How does rough ER differ for smooth ER?

rough ER has a higher proportion of ribosomes within, hence the 'rough' appearance


What makes up of two types rough and smooth each with its own function?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


What are the dotted structures the rough er is dotted with called?

The protein structures that the rough er is dotted with are called ribosomes. If ribosomes are not present then it is called a smooth er.


What cell structures are found on the surface of rough er but not on smooth er?

ribisome


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.


How does rough er differ from smooth er structure and function?

ER (endoplasmic reticulae) are the pathways in the cytoplasm of the cell connecting the nucleus. Smooth ER are without ribosomes on its membrane and rough ER have several ribosomes lining up the membrane. The ribosomes help in the assembly of amenoacids to form the proteins as per message received from mRNA.


How does rough ER from smooth ER?

if you meant how they differ, its like this. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on it, these are responsible for proten synthesis. The smooth ER on the other hand does not have ribosomes


What is the protein structure the rough ER dotted with called?

The protein structures that the rough er is dotted with are called ribosomes. If ribosomes are not present then it is called a smooth er.


What performs the same function of smooth er?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) performs similar functions to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) in terms of protein synthesis and modification. However, the RER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a "rough" appearance, whereas the SER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and storage of calcium ions.
