What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
