The dots are a way of indicating ribosomes that are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Generally the ER in a cell is asociated with many ribosomes, which are the machinery that produce proteins. This is in fact called a rough ER, to distinguish it from smooth ER that does not have ribosomes attached to it.
Within a cell, ribosomes will manufacture proteins and then insert many of them directly into the ER for modification (such as the addition of carbohydrate groups).
The dots on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) represent ribosomes, which are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. When the ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), it indicates that the ER is involved in the production of proteins destined for secretion or for use in the cell membrane. In contrast, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks these ribosomes and is primarily involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
endoplasmic reticulum
the Endoplasmic reticulum
Type your answer here... Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes
Ribosomes
I believe it is the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.

The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.
Ribosomes used in transcription
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
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)
the endoplasmic reticulum is transparent
the Endoplasmic reticulum
The plural form of endoplasmic reticulum is endoplasmic reticula.
Endoplasmic Reticulum.
