Any endoplasmic reticulum, smooth or rough, has one membrane. Just as there is one membrane around the nucleus, there is one around the ER. They appear to have many but they look this way because of how they are folded or formed. The Rough ER (RER) looks more like several pockets while the Smooth ER (SER) looks more like a bunch of tubes.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is surrounded by a single membrane. It lacks ribosomes on its surface unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum is a series of folded membranes that transport materials within the cell, acting as a pathway for molecules to move around. In particular, the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface that are involved in protein synthesis.
The shortened name for folded membranes within the cell is "ER", which stands for endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum.
Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are non-examples of endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles serve different functions within the cell compared to the endoplasmic reticulum.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is surrounded by a single membrane. It lacks ribosomes on its surface unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Nucleus
The endoplasmic reticulum is best described as a network of membranes within cells that is involved in the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins and lipids. It can be classified into rough endoplasmic reticulum (with ribosomes on its surface) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (lacking ribosomes).

endoplasmic reticulum is divided into two parts that are smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.It is the network of membranes which provide skeletal framework to the cell.
Endoplasmic reticulum.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of a network of intracellular membranes with attached ribosomes. Rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, where proteins are synthesized, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
