The ER is a microscopic series of tunnels used in transport and storage. There are smooth ER (SER) and Rough ER (RER). The rough part of the ER are ribosomes. The RER is responsible for several specialized functions: protein translation, folding and transport of proteins to be used in the cell membrane (e.g. transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins), or to be secreted (exocytosed) from the cell. (The latter two with the aid of the Golgi apparatus). The SER is primarily responsible for lipid synthesis.

Hepatocytes have large amounts of what?
smooth endoplasmic recticulum
Which cell organelle produces new membrane for the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the manufacturing of membranes. It also creates ribosomes that make proteins for the cell.
What does the cytoplasm do inside of the animal cell?
The cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance that holds the other organelles together, such as the Vacuoles, Mitochondrion, Nucleus, Golgi Bodies, and Endoplasmic Recticulum.
What two organelles produces lipids?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is one of them p63 human biology Michael d Johnson 4th ed
Which organelle is primarily responsible for the breakdown of lipids within the cell?
Fatty acids are metabolized to help provide the cell with even more energy than by breaking down other macromolecules. Why not metabolism nearly everything that is brought into the cell, right? Carbohydrates, proteins, and even nucleic acids can also be broken down and metabolized to generate ATP for the cell. Fatty acids actually provide twice as much energy than carbohydrates or proteins of the same size.
How is rough endoplasmic recticulum different from smooth endoplasmic recticulum?
rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached to it but SER doesn't
What is an analogy for a endoplasmic recticulum?
no
What organelle is attached to the endoplasmic recticulum?
it is me :)
What were the bumps on the endoplasmic recticulum called?
Ribosomes.
Hepatocytes have large amounts of what?
smooth endoplasmic recticulum
What organelle acts as the highway to transport proteins?
endoplasmic reticulum
What part of the cell can protein be found?
The Endoplasmic Recticulum
What organelle might be found in the cytoplasm and on the surface of the Endoplasmic Recticulum?
Ribosomes
What is the smooth kind manufactures lipids?
the smooth endoplasmic recticulum (ER)
What is the function of rough endoplasmic recticulum in a cell?
help in protein synthesis ,,
What is the rough endoplasmic recticulum job?
to make sure no chemical can get to the nucleas of the cell.
Which cell organelle produces new membrane for the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the manufacturing of membranes. It also creates ribosomes that make proteins for the cell.
