What is the difference between Smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Rouch endoplasmic reticulum?
A
Smooth ER has ribosomes attached
B
Rough ER has ribosomes attached
C
Smooth ER produces energy smoothly
D
Rough ER produces energy roughly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most basic difference between RER and SER is the presence of ribosomes. When ribosomes attach to the surface of an ER, it gives a characteristic rough appearance; hence it is called Rough ER. On the other hand, a smooth ER does not have ribosomes on its surface. It possesses ribosomes attached to its membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is so named for the appearance of its outer surface, which is studded with protein-synthesizing particles known as ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum aids the process of membrane biogenesis. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the production of lipids, while the rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins.
