Solution

Endoplasmic reticulum:

  1. The endoplasmic reticulum is a large, dynamic structure that performs many roles in the cell, including calcium storage, protein synthesis, and lipid metabolism.

Golgi apparatus:

  1. The stock of small flat sacs is formed by the inner membrane of a cell's cytoplasm.
  2. The Golgi prepares protein and lipid molecules for use in other locations inside and outside the cell.

These are the cell organelles, which are made up of a web of vesicles and tubules.These are the cell organelles, which are arranged in the form of several fluid-filled dishes.
The biggest organelles found in eukaryotic cells are these.Compared to the endoplasmic reticulum, smaller.
Creating membrane lipids or their precursors, folding and processing membranes, secretory and transmembrane proteins, and lipid metabolism.It is involved in the development of lysosomes, the processing of glycoproteins, and lipid metabolism.
The surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum contains membrane-bound ribosomes.Its surface is devoid of ribosomes.
