Question

Distinguishe between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 1

Answer:

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum(SER):

1.As no ribosomes are present on their surface so,they have smooth surface.

2.When seen through compound microscope it looks smooth.

3.Helps in the formation of lipids in membrane biogenesis.

4.Helps in detoxification of compounds in the liver cells of vertebrates.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum(RER):

1.as ribosomes are present,so they look rough.

2.When seen through compound microscope they look rough.

3.Helps in the formation of proteins in membrane biogenesis.
