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.
