Endoplasmic Reticulum
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a vital organelle in eukaryotic cells, playing multiple crucial roles. From protein synthesis, folding, and modification to lipid metabolism and calcium storage, the ER ensures the cell’s proper functioning. The Rough ER, adorned with ribosomes, synthesizes proteins, while the Smooth ER is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification. Additionally, the…
