Endoplasmic reticulum can be found in ALL EUKARYOTIC CELLS (i.e. plant, animal, fungi, etc.).
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
The ER is a long system of tubes and sacs. It acts as a “highway” for the cell. Materials made or processed in one part of the cell are transported to new parts of the cell on the ER.
There are TWO types of Endoplasmic Reticulum:
ROUGH ER – Extends from the nucleus. Studded with ribosomes; modifies proteins for shipment to other parts of the cell .
SMOOTH ER – Modifies & assembles lipids
for shipment to other parts of the cell.
