If the endoplasmic reticulum were removed from the cell, which organelle would not be able to function properly, and why? mitochondria, because they rely on the ER as an energy source ribosomes, because they receive proteins made by the ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm, because it relies on the ER for structural support

The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is to produce proteins. It can be smooth or rough. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes, which make the proteins.

The Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies and sorts them. They are then concentrated and packed into vesicles which are released out of the cell membrane.

If the endoplasmic reticulum is removed, proteins cannot be made and the Golgi apparatus would not be able to perform its job.

Hope that helps.

If the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) were removed from the cell, Golgi apparatus would not be able to function properly.

What is endoplasmic reticulum?

"Endoplasmic Reticulum is a network of membranous tubules present within the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell."

It is of two types- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum and Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.

It helps in calcium storage, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism.

What is Golgi apparatus?

It is also known as Golgi body or Golgi complex.

It helps in transporting, modifying and packaging of proteins and lips lipids which are synthesized by Endoplasmic Reticulum.

Hence, Golgi apparatus would not function properly if Endoplasmic Reticulum is removed.
