Difference between Smooth and Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Difference between Smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Rough endoplasmic reticulum are in tabular form below –
No. |
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum |
Rough endoplasmic reticulum |
1. | An arrangement of vesicles, sacs, tubules and a part which is connected to the nuclear envelope is referred as Smooth endoplasmic reticulum. | A structure which consists of sheets of phospholipid membrane and it contains cytosol is referred as Rough endoplasmic reticulum. |
2. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum mainly made up of tubules. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum mainly made up of cisternae. |
3. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes which is over the surface of its membrane. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes which are attached to their membrane. |
4. | This is peripheral and helps in glycogen synthesis. | This is internal and helps in protein synthesis. |
5. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum also helps in synthesis of lipids. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum also helps in synthesis of enzymes. |
6. | Detoxification enzymes are present in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. | Detoxification enzymes are absent in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. |
7. | Smooth endoplasmic reticulum can develop from RER. | Rough endoplasmic reticulum can develop from nuclear membrane |
