Some parts of the ER have ribosomes attached to the cutoplasmic side of the membranes. This is called the RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum). These ribosomes synthesise proteins which are to be secreted from the cell, to form lysosomes or to become part of the cell surface membrane.
Other parts of the ER have no ribosomes attached: SER.
The cisternae (enclosed spaces in the membranes) of SER tend to be more tubular, in contrast to the flattened sacs of RER. SER has many different functions, including the synthesis of cholesterol and of steroid hormones such as testosterone and the breaking down of toxins such as drugs.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a "rough" appearance, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes in cells.

The endoplasmic reticulum acts as a highway in the cell, transporting molecules and serving as a network for communication between different parts of the cell. It helps in the synthesis, folding, and transport of proteins and lipids within the cell.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is studded with ribosomes, giving it a rough appearance and involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes. RER plays a major role in the production of secretory and membrane proteins, while SER is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones.
The outer portion of the nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), forming a network of membranes that are interconnected within the cell. This connection allows for the exchange of materials between the nucleus and the rest of the cell.
Im answering my own question and it feels awsome and the answer is yes it does because the ribsomes make the endplasmic reticulum rough and without the ribosomes it is a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. My name is Bob and I like pie.
rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached .helps in protein synthesis Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no ribosomes

It's not!!!!! tehee
The endoplasmic reticulum is physically connected to the nucleus through membrane components known as nuclear pores. These pores allow for communication and transport of molecules between the nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with protein-producing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance, hence its name. It works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with both the nuclear envelope and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in several metabolic processes; it contains enzymes, and it stores calcium ions in muscle cells. Lipid synthesis takes place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Endoplasmic reticulum act as a relay station between transportation of materials inside the cell. It have canals where chemicals can pass through. In summary, just like a transportation system. There are rough endoplasmic reticulum as well, which contains spots of Ribosomes on it.
