Rough ER The rough endoplasmic reticulum appears rough because its surface is covered by small ribosomes. These ribosomes synthesize proteins, and the membrane of the rough ER keeps those proteins separate from the rest of the cell. In addition to making and storing proteins, the rough ER makes its own proteins and phospholipids to add to its membrane. This is important because portions of the ER’s membrane are pinched off to form sealed sacs called transport vesicles. These vesicles carry the newly made proteins from the rough ER to the cell’s Golgi apparatus. Smooth ER The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have any ribosomes on its membrane. Its specific functions vary depending on the specializations of the cell in which it is located. The smooth ER participates in various metabolic processes, including the construction of lipids, the deconstruction of carbohydrates, and the detoxification of substances that may otherwise be harmful to the cell.
