Best Answer

Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum (SER) synthesize lipids whereas Peroxisomes (one of two types of microbodies) break down lipids into useable molecules as well as catalyze detox rxns in the liver.

Rough ER droduce protein products whereas proteins are broken down in the stomach by protease enzymes in the stomach. There may be an organelle responsible for that but I don't remember.
