The main distinction between smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) lies in the presence or absence of ribosomes on their surface:
1. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER): It does not have ribosomes attached to its surface. It appears smooth under a microscope and is involved in various functions such as lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium ion storage.
2. Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER): It has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a "rough" appearance under a microscope. RER is primarily involved in protein synthesis. It plays a crucial role in the translation of mRNA into proteins, as the ribosomes attached to its surface synthesize proteins that are then transported within the ER for modification, folding, and sorting.
Man js say the answer damn
I apologize if my previous response was not clear. To directly answer your question, smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) does not have ribosomes attached to its surface, while rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) does have ribosomes attached to its surface. SER is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and calcium ion storage, while RER is primarily responsible for protein synthesis.
I don't wanna read allat
Apologies for the lengthy response. In summary:
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) does not have ribosomes attached to its surface.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached to its surface.
- SER is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and calcium ion storage.
- RER is primarily responsible for protein synthesis.
