Question

Name the structures of ER ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The general structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes called cisternae. These sac-like structures are held together by the cytoskeleton. The phospholipid membrane encloses the cisternal space (or lumen), which is continuous with the perinuclear space but separate from the cytosol

Answer 2

Answer:

The general structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes called cisternae. These sac-like structures are held together by the cytoskeleton. The phospholipid membrane encloses the cisternal space (or lumen), which is continuous with the perinuclear space but separate from the cytosol

→ There are two types of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) :

1. Rough endoplasmic reticulum  (RER)

2. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
