Differences Between Rough and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a type of endoplasmic reticulum consisting of flattened sacs, studded with protein-synthesizing particles termed ribosomes on the outer surface. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a part of the endomembrane system that is present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The organelle is involved in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of …

Definition of animal cell Animals are a large group of diverse living organisms that make up to three-quarters of all species on earth. With their ability to move, to respond to stimuli, respond to environmental changes and adapt to different modes of feeding defense mechanisms and reproduction, all these mechanisms are enhanced by their constituent elements in the body. However, …

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)- Structure, Types, Functions

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Definition Within the cytoplasm of most animal cells is an extensive network (reticulum) of membrane-limited channels, collectively called the endoplasmic reticulum (or ER). The endoplasmic reticulum is a name derived from the fact that in the light microscope it looks like a “net in the cytoplasm.” The endoplasmic reticulum is only present in the eukaryotic cells. However, …
