SECTION D
18. The endoplasmic reticulum is a large network of membrane-bound tubes and sheets. It
looks like long tubules or round or oblong bags (vesicles). It is discovered by Porter and
Thompson. The ER membrane is similar in structure to the plasma membrane. There are two
types of ER– rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). RER
looks rough under a microscope because it has particles called ribosomes attached to its
surface. The ribosomes, which are present in all active cells, are the sites of protein
manufacture. The manufactured proteins are then sent to various places in the cell depending
on need, using the ER. The SER helps in the manufacture of fat molecules, or lipids, important
for cell function. Some of these proteins and lipids help in building the cell membrane. This
process is known as membrane biogenesis. Some other proteins and lipids function as enzymes
and hormones. Although the ER varies greatly in appearance in different cells, it always forms a
network system.
