true: i appears but isn't rough. it appears rough because of the ribosomes that are on them

True. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) appears rough because it is covered with ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis. The presence of ribosomes on the RER gives it a bumpy or rough appearance under a microscope.
True. Ribosomes are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, giving it a "rough" appearance. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
Type your answer here... Rough endoplasmic reticulum
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.
The two types of endoplasmic reticulum are rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum appears rough due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface, which are responsible for protein synthesis. These ribosomes give the rough ER its bumpy or studded appearance, distinguishing it from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which lacks ribosomes and appears smooth.
