The endoplasmic reticulum is made out of a lipid
membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum is still connected to
the nuclear membrane that is wrap around the cell’s DNA.
So there is a straight connection between the cells nucleus
and the endoplasmic reticulum.
•The rough endoplasmic reticulum is located around the nucleus in
the cells of both plants and animals. It function and transports
proteins and lipids throughout the cell.
•The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is connected to the nuclear
envelope of cells in plants and animals. It's primary function is to
facilitate the metabolism of carbohydrates and steroids in the cell
The endoplasmic reticulum is a eukaryotic organelle that forms an
interconnected network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae within
cells. Rough endoplasmic reticula synthesize proteins, while
smooth endoplasmic reticula synthesize lipids and steroids,
metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium
concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors
on cell membrane proteins. Sarcoplasmic reticula solely regulate
calcium levels.
