Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand what the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is. It is a part of the cell's structure.
  • Step 2: Note that the RER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which makes it 'rough'.
  • Step 3: Recognize that ribosomes are the sites where proteins are made.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the primary function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is to help in the synthesis (making) of proteins.
