Solution

Dear Student,

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)

The endoplasmic reticulum bearing ribosomes on their surface is known as RER. The endoplasmic reticulum that do not bears ribosomes and appear smooth are known as SER

These are actively involved in the protein synthesis These are major site for the synthesis of lipids.

It transports proteins to the different destination like plasma membrane It maintains the calcium ion concentration in the cytosol.
