Answer:
Functions of Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
- It contains ribophorins for providing attachment to ribosomes.
It bears enzymes in the region of pores for modifying polypeptides synthesised by attached ribosomes, e.g., glycosylation.
- It synthesises serum proteins, membrane proteins and a number of other proteins.
Proteins and enzymes synthesised by ribosomes enter the channels of RER both for intracellular use as well as secretion.
- It provides enzymes precursors for the formation of lysosomes by Golgi complex.

Functions of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
- It is responsible for synthesis of fats inside the cells of adipose tissue, formation of sphaerosomes, synthesis of glycogen as well as glycogenolysis in liver cells, synthesis of sterol, etc.
- It can develop from RER by discarding ribosomes.
