Jan 15, 2021 · The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large organelle made of membranous sheets and tubules that begin near the nucleus and extend across the cell. The endoplasmic reticulum creates, packages, and secretes many of the products created by a cell.

The endoplasmic reticulum or ER is an interconnected membranous organelle that runs continuously with the outer nuclear membrane and stretches extensively into the eukaryotic cell's cytoplasm. The ER has three structural morphologies - the nuclear envelope, peripheral cisternae, and an interconnected tubular network.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranous tubes and sacs within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, involved in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins and lipids. It exists in two forms: rough ER, studded with ribosomes, and smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes.
Dec 3, 2019 · A cell's endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contains a network of tubules and flattened sacs. The ER performs multiple functions in both plant and animal cells. Endoplasmic reticulum has two major regions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), typically the largest membrane-bound organelle in a eukaryotic cell, plays a critical role in many cellular processes, including protein synthesis, protein modification, lipid synthesis and the regulation of Ca 2+ homeostasis and secretion [ 1 ].

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a system of channels that is continuous with the nuclear membrane (or “envelope”) covering the nucleus and composed of the same lipid bilayer material. The ER can be thought of as a series of winding thoroughfares similar to the waterway canals in Venice.
Aug 3, 2023 · The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which consists of ribosomes on its surface is known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum. So it is also called the granular endoplasmic reticulum. Translocon is the binding site of the ribosome on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
