There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum these are smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Both types are in close association with nuclear membrane.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum are a system of membranes enclosing a fluid filled space. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesises and processes lipids.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a system of membranes enclosing a fluid filled space covered in ribosomes. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum folds and processes proteins that have been made at the ribosomes.
