What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

Back

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins, as it has ribosomes attached to its surface.

Front

What type of cells contain a nucleus?

Back

Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, while prokaryotic cells do not.
