The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes and helps produce most of the proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have these ribosomes, and is almost solely for producing lipids.

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.


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.


What does the smooth endoplasm reticulum do for the cell?

A smooth endoplasmic reticulum can be used for transportation. I think there are more functions but I'm not sure what they are. Also, a rough endoplasmic reticulum is just like smooth endoplasmic reticulum except with ribosomes attached.


What is the function of Endoplasmic in animal cells?

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for making proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for synthesizing steroids, phospholipids, and lipids.


What are non examples for endoplasmic reticulum?

Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are non-examples of endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles serve different functions within the cell compared to the endoplasmic reticulum.


What is the function of endoplasmic peticulum in animal cells?

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for making proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for synthesizing steroids, phospholipids, and lipids.


What makes up of two types rough and smooth each with its own function?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


Does a paramicium have an endoplasmic reticulum?

Yes, a paramecium does not have an endoplasmic reticulum. It lacks membrane-bound organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum. This unicellular organism mainly relies on its cilia for movement and other structures for basic cellular functions.


What is the function of Rough endoplasmic reticulum in animal cell?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum in animal cells is involved in protein synthesis. It has ribosomes attached to its surface which help in the translation of mRNA into proteins. These proteins are then modified and transported to other parts of the cell.


Where can one view images of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

To view images of smooth endoplasmic reticulum one could look for biology books. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions with the production in several metabolic processes, it is "smooth" because it is not studded with ribosomes.


What organelle functions as a pathway to ship proteins and is dotted with ribosomes?

Endoplasmic Reticulum!


How are the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus related?

In microbiology cells ( cytology).
