It is a kind of channel that carries substances, such as proteins, oil droplets, water, to other parts of the cell.
Well, to make it easier, endoplasmic reticulum is actually a fancy way of saying "cellular highway". I will explain to you why. I always like to study BIOLOGY relating our activities and our stuff.
Okay, let's push aside cells. Let's think of us, humans. We can't stay in one place, we gotta moving all around the city. What do we use for moving around the city: either roads or sidewalks or footpaths.
Just like that, a cell also has a medium or road or a channel where all the substances can move around the cell. Well, its ER! So, from now on, everytime you are struggling with this difficult, L O N G word, just replace it with "cellular highway". The ER is like a water pipe, too. Water flows through it. Here, cellur substances flow through it. The ER is connected to the nucleus.
SUMMARY: 1# ER aka Endoplasmic Reticulum is a kind of channel that carries substances, such as proteins, oil droplets, water, to other parts of the cell. 2# Try thinking it easy: replace it with "cellular highway". 3# It is much like the roads or sidewalks, we walk on.
A small amount of fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet. Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body can't make itself. Fat helps the body absorb vitamins A, D and E. These vitamins are fat-soluble, meaning they can only be absorbed with the help of fats.
The tympanic duct or scala tympani is one of the perilymph-filled cavities in the inner ear of humans. It is separated from the cochlear duct by the basilar membrane, and it extends from the round window to the helicotrema, where it continues as vestibular duct.
