What is the Rough ER

OpenStudy (trancenova):

The "rough" appearance of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) results from the presence of ribosomes that are bound to the cytosolic side of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The presence of ribosomes on the RER indicates that it is involved in protein synthesis. So basically its an organelle involved in protein synthesis.
