Thanks for stopping by, this is 2 minute classroom and today we are talking about the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, or Rough ER for short.

I created this channel save you time in your studies so that you can spend more time doing what you enjoy. So consider subscribing and hitting the bell if you want to spend less time studying.

The rough ER is a series of interconnected membranous structures that appears studded under powerful microscopes. These studs are actually ribosomes and give this portion of the ER its rough appearance and name.

It sits next to the nucleus in the cell and is actually continuous with the outer membrane of the nucleus, the nuclear envelope. The Rough ER is responsible for the synthesis and modification of proteins. You can learn more about proteins by clicking the icon in the upper right hand corner

The proteins that are modified in and pass through the Rough ER are primarily membrane bound proteins that will function in either the cell membrane or the membranes of other organelles within the cell.

Some proteins from the rough ER will be secreted out of the cell in vesicles to perform functions throughout the body, such as signaling between nerve cells.

You can learn more about cells by watching this video, or prepare for an upcoming test with this test tips and strategies playlist. You can also watch this video of mine that YouTube thinks you’ll enjoy.

Thanks for watching, and I’ll catch you next time.

This is it boys, this is the portal room.

I love short videos that give conclusion. I get better understanding of whole picture. This helps understand more advanced video after.

Another amazing video by 2 minute classroom thanks man keep it up 👍

[morbidmovies]

Subscribed to help with homework thanks man

[literallydeadpool]

Almost forgot to give this a like lol. Thanks for the help!

[fufuchan]

the idea of your channel is really helpful please we want more video

[Warith]

Thank u!! helped a ton with my reasearch.

[mithunprabhu]

Keep putting more videos with more neet based information

[abedalrahmanawad]

if secretoy proteins are isolated from
secretory vesicles and injected into the cytosol,
it will be
I mean it will degraded in the cytosol or it will
be taken up into the rough ER and follow the
secretory pathway
Which answer is the true one
Thanks you

it says a 2 minute video but has like than 30 seconds of information on the actual topic :\
