== Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle found in both eukaryotic animal and plant cells.
== It often appears as two interconnected sub-compartments, namely rough ER and smooth ER. Both types consist of membrane enclosed, interconnected flattened tubes.
==The rough ER, studded with millions of membrane bound ribosomes, is involved with the production, folding, quality control and despatch of some proteins.
==Smooth ER is largely associated with lipid (fat) manufacture and metabolism and steroid production hormone production. It also has a detoxification function.

The characteristics of endoplasmic reticulum is as follows:
Explanation:
- It is an organelle that can be found in the eukaryotic cells.
- These organelles form an interconnected network of flattened, sacs or tube like structures called as cisternae.
- The endoplasmic reticulum helps to form a skeletal framework.
- The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the synthesis of lipids, proteins, glycogen and steroids for example progesterone, cholesterol and testosterone.
