The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves as a key transport organelle within the cell. It consists of a network of membranes that facilitate the synthesis and transport of proteins and lipids. The rough ER is studded with ribosomes, making it essential for protein production, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification. Together, they play a vital role in processing and transporting molecules throughout the cell.
