Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum by Ryan Kelleher https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh en-us 2022-10-22 15:16:32 UTC 2022-10-24 01:26:18 UTC hello@padlet.com What is it rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351723496 The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a group of folded membranes located in the cytoplasm of the cell. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is found in both plant and animal cells. The reason that is is "Rough" is because it has ribosomes along the outside of it, which are small spheres that sit on the outside.]]> 2022-10-22 15:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351723496 rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351724174 2022-10-22 15:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351724174 What does it do? rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351731209 The main purpose of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is to help produce the proteins that the cell needs to function. The ribosomes on the outside of the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum produce proteins which the cell in turn uses to produce energy. The rough ER also helps in protein folding, giving proteins their shape and function, and also transports new proteins around the cell as well.]]> 2022-10-22 15:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351731209 rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351731706 2022-10-22 15:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351731706 How is it different from the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum? rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351735531 The main difference between the two ERs is that the Rough ER has ribosomes and the Smooth ER does not. This in turn causes the Rough ER to help in protein production and the Smooth ER helps in protein synthesis.]]> 2022-10-22 15:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2351735531 Why is it important? rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352645473 Without the Rough ER, there would be far less protein synthesis in the body. The proteins that the Ribosomes on the Rough ER produce are vital to other parts of the cell being able to function correctly. ]]> 2022-10-23 22:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352645473 What does it look like? rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352648672 Like I have said, the Rough ER is a series of folded bodies over each other. It is "rough" due to the ribosomes that are on it, along with some parts of it being engorged. The Rough ER sometimes retains some of the proteins that it produces if they are faulty or misshapen. These retained proteins can cause blockages in the productions of protein causing that area to be engorged.]]> 2022-10-23 22:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352648672 What problems are there with my Organelle rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352652133 One problem is one I have already mentioned which is when proteins malfunction and get stuck in the Rough ER, causing blockages that can reduce the production of the Rough ER. Another problem is that if the Rough ER, malfunctions, the entire cell can die because protein production will be faulty. Lastly, research has shown that prolonged stress of the rough ER can lead to diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and liver stress.]]> 2022-10-23 22:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352652133 rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352652616 2022-10-23 22:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352652616 Why is it better? rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352654268 The main reason that the Rough ER is better than other organelles is simply the fact that other organelles couldn't exist and do their job without it. The proteins that the Rough ER synthesizes are vital to the life of the cell. Without the Rough ER the cell would die.]]> 2022-10-23 22:41:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352654268 Works Cited rkelleher4 https://padlet.com/rkelleher4/6ihiafcp25d7pswh/wish/2352709436 AmoebaSisters, director.
