During translation, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and attaches onto a ribosome on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Once attached, the ribosome translates the mRNA into amino acids, which fold into a protein.

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 organelle is responsable for protein and lipid synthesis?

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) is responsible for lipid synthesis however ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are also present in endoplasmic reticulum - rough E.R. Smooth E.R. contains no ribosomes.


What cell organelle is packed with ribosomes?

The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.


Which of these organelles folds proteins?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum


What is sprinkled with ribosomes?

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, and The Cytoplasm


What does rough endoplasmic contain that smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not?

Ribosomes.


What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum rough?

On the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it is rough due to the ribosomes that are on it. The Ribosomes create protein and send them into the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are made inside the nucleolus.


What metabolism is rough endoplasmic reticulum associated with?

protein synthesis


What organelle involved in ribosome synthesis?

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum


How many are endoplasmic reticulum?

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.


What is the maze of tubes and sacs that produces a variety of molecules?

It is the endoplasmic reticulum.This consists of regions with embedded ribosomes (the rough endoplasmic reticulum) and regions without (smooth endoplasmic reticulum).The endoplasmic reticulum interconnects with the nuclear envelope, and is involved in both transport and metabolism, including lipid synthesis (in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) and protein synthesis (in the rough endoplasmic reticulum).


What organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?

Ribosomes can be attached to endoplasmic reticulum, and when ribosomes are attached, it is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.
