Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules, vesicles and sacs that are interconnected. They may serve specialized functions in the cell including protein synthesis, sequestration of calcium, production of steroids, storage and production of glycogen, and insertion of membrane proteins.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, processing, and transport within the cell. It also participates in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes. There are two types of ER: rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes and involved in protein synthesis, and smooth ER, which is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification.
rough types synthesize proteins while smooth types synthesize lipids and steroids.
The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis, metabolism and regulation.

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
How do you spell Endoplasmic Reticulum?
Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is an extensive system of internal membranes that move proteins and other other substances through the cell?
endoplasmic reticulum
What organelle has ribosomes attached to it's surface?
The endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, making it the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
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
What color is a endoplasmic reticulum?
the endoplasmic reticulum is transparent
Transport of molecules within animal cells occurs in the what?
the Endoplasmic reticulum
What is the funtion of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum?
A system of interconnected vesicular and lamellar cytoplasmic mambranes that functions especially in the transport of materials within the cell and that is studded with ribosomes in some places.
What is the plural form of endoplasmic reticulum?
The plural form of endoplasmic reticulum is endoplasmic reticula.
Cells delivery system?
Endoplasmic Reticulum.
What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What organelles is covered in ribosome?
Type your answer here... Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Some ribosomes are embedded into?
They can be attached to Rough ER(Endoplasmic Reticulum)
What would endoplasmic reticulum represent?
Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough) : Highway with cars (for ribosomes) Endoplasmic Reticulum (Soft) : Road without cars* *because the soft endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes
