There are tow types of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Smooth ER and Rough ER

  • Smooth ER - Breaks down carbohydrates; synthesis of lipids, phospholipids, steroids; helps to detoxify blood; stores Calcium ions
  • Rough ER - Helps with protein synthesis; has ribosomes

it acts as an intracellular highway through the cell. it carries and sends materials through
The rough ER makes proteins, which are then sent to the Golgi bodies to be refined and released into the cell in secretory vesicles.
the endoplasmic reticulum(otherwise known as ER) transports nutrients and fluid around the cell in most living mammals.
Endoplasmic reticulum in a cell transports proteins made from the ribosomes around the cell. It can also be smooth or rough, having no ribosomes being smooth and having ribosomes being rough.

Why endoplasmic reticulum is called as transporting channels of the cell?

The endoplasmic reticulum is called the "transport system" of the cell because it is responsible for the synthesis, processing, and transport of proteins and lipids within the cell. It is a network of membranes that helps transport molecules from one part of the cell to another, ensuring that proteins and other important molecules are delivered to their correct destinations.


What are the 5 main cell parts so important?

1>Endoplasmic Reticulum 2>Golgi body 3>Plastids 4>Nucleus 5>Ribosomes


What effect do you think this would have on the other organelles in the cell suppose the endoplasmic reticulum of a cell was damaged?

the fuction of the endoplasmic reticulum is transport. be it of proteins or lipids so other organells will suffer due to lack of necessary nutrients needed for their survival n growth.


Is endoplasmic reticulum found in human cells?

Yes, endoplasmic reticulum is found in human cells. It plays a crucial role in protein and lipid synthesis, processing, and transportation within the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum is divided into two regions: rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which has ribosomes attached to its surface, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which lacks ribosomes.


What are the parts of a organelle called?

There are several different organelles in a cell. For example: nucleus ribosome rough endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus smooth endoplasmic reticulum Each one has different parts so you need to be specific and say which organelle you are asking about

What organelle is attached to the nuclear envelope?

I don't think there is cell organelle surrounding the nuclear membrane because the nuclear membrane has many openings for nuclear traffic so i don't think there is any thing around it.but if you think i am wrong i am sorry:)

Is smooth endoplasmic reticulum essential for cell?

It helps with the processing of lipids, so yes.

What is the role of the endoplasmic in a cell?

Do you mean the endoplasmic reticulum? (aka ER for short)If so, ribosomes stick to the endoplasmic reticulum where they work together to make proteins.Also, ERs without ribosomes help to transport sugars.


Where can you found endoplasmic reticulum?

In eukaryote cells attached to the cell's nucleus. Surrounds it, so to speak.


Does the rough endoplasmic reticulum provide synthesis of the cell membrane?

no. at leats i dont think so.


What is the job of the endoplasmic?

it's a network of passageways that carries materials from one part of of the cell to another. The endoplasmic reticulum sends it to the Golgi body so the Golgi body can distribute it. The endoplasmic reticulum is located next to the nucleus. They have ribosomes on it.

What are the cell's highways?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is often called hallways. So if the cell can be seen as having a number of connection cities and towns as the organelles, then the SER would be it. The cell has smooth endoplasmic reticulum through which it is believed that messenger RNA travels from the nucleus to places where it is decoded.

A cell that produces many proteins for secretion from the cell would have large numbers of what?

ribosomes (because they make proteins). The ribosomes will usually be found associated with the endoplasmic reticulum so you'll see lots of rough ER.
