Solution
The cell organelle, Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an extensive, interconnected, membrane-bound network of tubes and sheets. It consists of various channels like cisternae, vesicles and tubules. ER carries materials throughout the cell. There are two type of ERs:
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) - bears ribosomes, involved in protein synthesis.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) - Does not bear ribosomes, involved in lipid synthesis.
