Questions and Answers

Explain the structure and function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is a network of tiny tubular structures with ribosomes attached to its outer surface. It is involved in protein synthesis within the cell.

Describe the structure and function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks attached ribosomes, giving it a smooth appearance. It is the major site for lipid synthesis within the cell.

Differentiate between the functions of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) in the cell.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is the major site for lipid synthesis within the cell.
