Answers
Answer:
Endoplasmic reticulum is a cell organelle which is found in both plants and animals .
It is a network of loops and membranes compressed back and forth .
RER or Rough Endoplasmic reticulum is ER which has Ribosomes attached to it . It is used for protein synthesis .

Thank you :):)
main characteristics- network of tubular double membrane. it is continuous with the plasma membrane on the outside and the nuclear membrane on the inside
chief function - (1) support framework the cell.
(2) synthesis and transport of protein and fats
rough ER - this type of ER has a rough appearance as it is studded with rhizomes. it plays of Vital role in synthesis of proteins
smooth ER- this type of ER dose not have ribosomes attached to it ; it. therefore , has a smooth appearance .it helps in the synthesis of fats
