Describe the structure and functions of the two types of endoplasmic reticulum.
Answers
The structure and function of the two types of endoplasmic reticulum are :-
➥ Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER):-
☛ RER mainly consist of cisternae.
☛ Ribosomes are attached on it's outer surface.
☛ Helps in synthesis of protein due to the present of Ribosomes.
☛ It is well developed in cells and in specialised to synthesis protein.
☛ It is present in exocrine pancreatic cells and antibodies secreting plasma cells.
➥ Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER):-
☛ SER mainly consist of tubules and vesicles.
☛ Ribosome are not present on its surface.
☛ It is well developed in cells and is specialised to synthesis lipids, steroids.
☛ Production of harmones.
☛ storage of calcium ion that help in muscles contraction.
