Back

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the difference between Rough and Smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.

Front

What is the Cell Wall?

Back

The Cell Wall is a rigid outer layer that provides support and protection to plant cells.
