What is endoplasmic reticulum,Mantion the function of different types of endoplasmic reticulum
Answers
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), in biology, a continuous membrane system that forms a series of flattened sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells and serves multiple functions, being important particularly in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins .
Types and Functions:-
The two types of endoplasmic reticulum are : Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum: Their main function is produce proteins in the cells and ribosomes are attached to their surface.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Their main function is to produce lipids and also detoxify toxins in the body in the liver and kidney cells.

Endoplasmic reticulum - Endoplasmic reticulum is the network of complex tubular membranes distributed over the entire cytoplasm in a eukaryotic cell.
Types of endoplasmic reticulum-
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum -
- smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- rough endoplasmic reticulum
Functions of smooth endoplasmic reticulum -
- it is a synthesis of lipids such was phospholipids etc.
- it helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates.
- it transfers the minerals from the rough endoplasmic to the Golgi apparatus.
- it supports framework for the cell.
Functions of rough endoplasmic reticulum-
- it is a synthesis of proteins and cholesterol.
- it plays a vital role in protein folding.
