The folds contain ribosomes attached to the membrane. The more the folds the more the surface area to which more ribosomes can attach. The ribosomes are organelles responsible for the manufacture of protein in cells. Thereafter, the proteins are properly folded by the mediation of chaperones in the lumen of the RER.
