Function
Provide support and strength
Helps to maintain shape.

5. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Location
Plant and Animal Cells
Description
System of membranes found in the cell’s cytoplasm
Contains ribosomes
Function
Production, processing, and transport of proteins

6. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Location
