What molecules are processed by the rough endoplasmic?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum acts as an assembly line where workers (ribosomes) make proteins. This area is where proteins are assembled for internal and external use.


Which molecules are processed by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)?

Proteins are the main molecules processed by the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ribosomes on the rough ER synthesize proteins, which are then folded and modified as they pass through the ER. Additionally, some lipids are also synthesized and processed in the ER.

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.


What is an Endoplasmic Reticulum with ribosomes?

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.


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.


Where are Secretory proteins and membrane molecules are synthesized mainly by what?

Secretory proteins and membrane molecules are mainly synthesized by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells. The ER is a network of membranes where proteins are synthesized and processed before being transported to their final destinations within the cell.


Function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and modification. It has ribosomes attached to its surface that facilitate the synthesis of proteins that are then processed and packaged for transportation within the cell or secretion outside of the cell.
