Structure
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is made up of membranes which have ribosomes attached to it. This gives it the rough appearance. This is contrary to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum which does not have these membrane bound ribosomes. This means that the rough endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the production of polypeptides that are about to be taken through the membrane to be post-modified.
