Answer:

This question is incomplete

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, there is a distinct relationship between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum are responsible for protein synthesis which are used by the remaining organelles (including the membrane) to function. The endoplasmic reticulum is also involved in lipid synthesis and has a network of tubules (which are used for carrying materials throughout the cell) that can deliver lipids into the cell membrane. These lipids are responsible for the semi-permeability function of the cell/plasma membrane.
