There are ribosomes on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum - these are ovular in shape and so make the surface appear 'rough'.

Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis - so this the rough ER is involved in the production of protein.

What makes the rough endoplasmic reticulum appear rough under the microscope?

the presence of ribosomes Many small ribosomes are attached to the surfaces of the rough ER. The rough ER processes proteins made by the ribosomes.


What is structures are found on the surface of rough endoplamic reticulum but in smooth endopasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is characterized by ribosomes on the surface. When viewed (using an electron microscope) they appear as black dots. Ribosomes are responsible for translating mRNA into protein and use tRNA to obtain the amino acids needed for the process. Ribosomes are actually composed of two subunits (30S and 50S in humans).


How can you tell rough ER and smooth ER?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a "rough" appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis and processing. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes, appears smooth, and is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis, as well as detoxification processes.

How does rough ER differ for smooth ER?

rough ER has a higher proportion of ribosomes within, hence the 'rough' appearance


How can you rough ER from smooth ER?

Rough ER looks like a maze and smooth ER looks like a sculpture. Another thing is that the Rough ER has ribosomes on it while the Smooth ER doesnt.

How can you tell ER from smooth ER?

Ribosomes are found in rough ER while they are not found in smooth ER. These are what give the "rough" appearance.
