Endoplasmic reticulum
- Interconnected network of membrane vesicles
- Connected with the nuclear membrane and is associated with ribosome
- If ribosome is present à Rough ER
- If ribosome is absent à Smooth ER
Function
- Transport of material
- Provide mechanical strength and support to the cell
- Cell plate formation during cytokinesis
Involved enzymes: Glucose-6-phosphatase and cytochrome-b5-reductase
