'''Endoplasmic reticulum''' ('''ER''') is a cellular [[organelle]]. It is the transport network for molecules going to specific places, as compared to molecules that float freely in the [[cytoplasm]]. The endoplasmic reticulum is in cells that have a [[nucleus]]: in [[eukaryote]] cells but not in [[prokaryote]] cells. It takes these forms:
