Endoplasmic Reticulum


The Endoplasmic Reticulum is an organelle made of folded membrane. This is the organelle where protein and lipid synthesize. There are two types of ER in the cell. The Smooth ER and the Rough ER. The difference between the SER and the RER is that the RER is coated with Ribosomes, granting the appearence of it being "rough", while the SES has no Ribosomes. the RER mainly concists of the making and advancement of protein that will be evacuated from the cell. The SES works with the makings of lipids, breaking down of poison and drugs and taking care of the carbohydrates, therefore making it a more crucial to the cell than other organisms.
