Following are the two advantages of endoplasmic reticulum.
1) Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle of the cell which is responsible for the production of protein for the cell. This protein is sent to the Golgi apparatus where it is modified and used by the cell where it is needed.
2) Endoplasmic reticulum also helps in the removal of toxic substances from the cell. If these toxic substances are not removed, it causes damage to the cell.
