What is the internal space of the endoplasmic reticulum called?

The internal space of the endoplasmic reticulum is called the cisternal space, or lumen, which is part of the "rough endoplasmic reticulum." The lumen is the staging area where the final modifications of protein synthesis take place, and its quality is analysed before releasing it for transportation to it's intended destination.

What is the structure of the reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum has network of cisternae. Cisterna is phospholipid membrane that encloses a space (lumen) from cytosol. Cytosol contains water and macromolecules. Cisternae are held together by cytoskeleton.Endoplasmic reticulum containing ribosomes (small spherical organelles) on its membrane is called rough endoplasmic reticulum.


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 body part is similar to the endoplasmic reticulum?

The endoplasmic reticulum is located inside the cells in people's bodies. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is repsonible for the production of the protein and lipid components of most of the cell's organelles.

What do endoplamic reticulum do?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER) is concerned with the transport of proteins which are synthesised by the ribosomes present on their surface. The name "rough endoplasmic reticulum" is because it looks rough under a microscope due to the ribosomes...
