The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubes and sacs inside a cell.
It connects the nucleus to other parts of the cell, helping move things around.
There are two types:
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum: Covered with ribosomes; makes proteins.
smooth: No ribosomes; makes fats, hormones, and helps with detoxification.
The ER acts like a factory and a transport system for proteins and other molecules needed by the cell.
