there are two distinct types of ER that perform different functions within the cell.
The rough ER Is convoluted, flattened like membrane sheets (called cisternae)
The cisternae play a crucial role in the packaging, modification, and transport functions for the cell overall
which is covered by ribosomes
What are Ribosomes?
on its outer surface, functions in protein processing
What are proteins?
The smooth ER is not associated with ribosomes and is involved in lipid,
What is lipid?
rather than protein, metabolism
and is involved in synthesis of various proteins
The network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum allows for an increased surface area to be devoted to storage of key enzymes
