if ribosomes are found attached to ER (endoplasmic reticulum) it is called rough ER and it is responsible for protein synthesis.
but, if no ribosomes are attached to ER it is called smooth ER and is mainly responsible for lipid synthesis.

What is found is rough endoplastmic reticulm?
ribosomes are on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is what differentiates it from the smooth 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 is the rough endoplasmic reticulum found near the nucleus or cytoplasm?
It's found near the nucleus but the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is attached the the rough ER. The smooth ER is attached to the nucleus.
What structures distinguish rough ER from smooth ER?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not.
What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?
Endoplasmic Reticulum, there is Smooth ER, and Rough ER.
What is the the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
What is the edoplasmic reticulum?
Endoplasmic reticulum is found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms. Endoplasmic reticulum is a type of organelle. Endoplasmic reticulum has two different types smooth or rough.
How many are endoplasmic reticulum?
There are ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but they are not called cells. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and the ribosomes are all in a cell and ribosomes are organelles in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and breaks down toxic material. Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes protein.
What structural feature distinguishes smooth ER from rough ER?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not.
How can you tell rough endoplasmic- reticulum from smooth endoplasmic- reticulum?
Rough ER has Ribosomes embedded within it, and smooth ER does not.
