LaoThe endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes within cells that is responsible for protein and lipid synthesis, as well as helping to transport these molecules within the cell. It comes in two forms: rough endoplasmic reticulum, which has ribosomes on its surface, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which lacks ribosomes.

How do you spell Endoplasmic Reticulum?
Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is a surface for chemical activity in a cell?
A surface for chemical activity in a cell is typically a membrane-bound compartment, such as the cell membrane or organelle membranes like the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. These surfaces provide specific environments for enzymes and other molecules to interact, allowing for crucial cellular processes like signaling, metabolism, and transport to occur efficiently.
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.
What is the plural form of endoplasmic reticulum?
The plural form of endoplasmic reticulum is endoplasmic reticula.
Which of these organelles folds proteins?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
