## Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs with a "rough" appearance because of the presence of ribosomes on the surface
### Function
- Protein synthesis
- About half of the cell's proteins are made here, by the ribosomes
- Protein movement
- Proteins are transported by vesicles throught the cell to other organelles, like the golgi apparatus
- Protein "Proof-Reading"
- pre-existing proteins are center the rough-ER for modification
