Question 26
Differentiate between Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER).
Difference between Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) and Smooth Endoplasmic Reti culum (SER) are as below.
RER SER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum)1.RER possesses ribosomes attached to itsSER does not bear ribsomes attach to surface. their surface.2.Mainly formed of cisternae and fewMainly formed of vesicles and the tubules. tubules.3.RER takes part in the synthesis of proteinsSER takes part in the synthesis of glycogen, and enzymes.lipids and steriods.4.RER is internal and connected with nuclearSER is peripheral. it may be connected envelope.with plasmalemma.5.It may develop from the nuclear envelope.It may develop from RER.6.Enzymes for detoxofication are absent inIt has the enzymes for detoxofication.RER7.Itforms lysosomes through the agency ofSER gives rise to sphaerosomes.Golgi apparatus.
