Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)
Location - In the cytoplasm, outiside of nuclear envelope.
Structure - Complex network of tubes and sacs. Enclosed by membranes, studded with ribosomes.
Function - Site of protein synthesis. Attach things to proteins and transportation device for proteins.
Friends - Ribsomes, golgi apparatus, smooth ER, lysosomes, nucleus

Ribosomes
Location - Attached to the rough ER or free floating in the cytoplasm.
Structure - Tiniest organelle. Do not have membranes. Two subunits; large and small.
Function - Protein synthesis occurs here.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulm (Smooth ER)
Location - Outside the rough ER.
Structure - Network of fluid-filled channels enclosed by a phospholipid bilayer. Does not have ribosomes.
Function - Lipid synthesis, modifies proteins and breaks down toxins.
