Name and differentiate between two types of endoplasmic reticulum
Answers
Answer:
The ER can be classified in two functionally distinct forms: smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The morphological distinction between the two is the presence of protein-synthesizing particles, called ribosomes, attached to the outer surface of the RER.
THE TWO TYPES OF ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM ARE:-
•ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (RER)
It looks rough when seen under a microscope, due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface.
The ribosomes present on it synthesis proteins..and in turn, RER transports it to different parts of the cell.
It produces digestive enzymes present in lysosomes.
•SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (SER)
It looks smooth when seen under a microscope
It is responsible for manufacturing lipids.
It detoxifies poisons and drugs in liver cells of vertebrates.
