How the Endoplasmic Reticulum Plays a Vital Role in Animal Cell Function Kumar Jeetendra | February 19, 2024 The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a complicated organelle present in all eukaryotic cells, including animal cells, plays several roles in cellular function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is a protein synthesis organelle that appears microscopically bumpy due to the presence of ribosomes on its membrane. Proteins are manufactured in this location. To synthesize proteins for secretion, embedding …
