Front

Explain the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Back

The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.

Front

What is the difference between rough and smooth ER?

Back

Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis.
