The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a crucial role in cellular function by synthesizing proteins and lipids, which are essential for cell structure and function. Its rough ER, studded with ribosomes, is primarily involved in protein synthesis and processing, while the smooth ER is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification. The extensive network of the ER allows for efficient transport and modification of these molecules within the cell. Any dysfunction in the ER can lead to impaired protein folding and lipid metabolism, contributing to various diseases.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
Transport of molecules within animal cells occurs in the what?
the Endoplasmic reticulum
What organelles is covered in ribosome?
Type your answer here... Rough endoplasmic reticulum
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.
What would endoplasmic reticulum represent?
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes
What diseases or medical treatments are associated with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
What are some diseases that affect the rough endoplasmic reticulum
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
What color is a endoplasmic reticulum?
the endoplasmic reticulum is transparent
Transport of molecules within animal cells occurs in the what?
the Endoplasmic reticulum
What is the plural form of endoplasmic reticulum?
The plural form of endoplasmic reticulum is endoplasmic reticula.
Cells delivery system?
Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Some ribosomes are embedded into?
They can be attached to Rough ER(Endoplasmic Reticulum)
