It lacks ribosomes which is also the reason why it's called smooth ER rather than rough ER.
Rough er has ribosomes attached but smooth er does not. Rough ER is covered with ribosomes and looks "rough" through an electron microscope. Smooth ER lacks the ribosomes and appears as a smooth membrane. On the lighter side: The way it feels to the touch?
The Smooth ER has no ribosomes on it and the Rough ER does. :) How simple is that?
Its called smooth Endoplasmic reticulum a.k.a Smooth ER
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and are involved in modifying proteins. Smooth ER has no ribosomes and is involved with making and modifying fats. Smooth ER lacks the ribosomes that cover the rough ER.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a network of intracellular membranes, it links the plasma membrane and other membraneous organelles. it is involved in the production, processing, transport and storage of materials within a cell.Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER), is assosisated with ribosomes, where proteins are made.Smooth endoplasmic reticulum(SER), lacks ribosomes and is involved in the metabolism of certain compounds and synthesis of lipids.

Smooth ER lacks ribosomes, which are protein-producing organelles. Instead, they detoxify harmful substances and turn them into harmless substances, and they are involved in the production of hormones and lipids.
Smooth ER lacks ribosomes.RER has ribosomes embedded in it.
The Smooth ER
The Smooth ER has no ribosomes on it and the Rough ER does. :) How simple is that?
The SER lacks ribosomes embeded within the membrane of the ER. The "rough" description is given due to the visible ribosomal bodies covering the exterior surface.
There are two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a cell. Rough ER is peppered with ribosomes and that makes proteins. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and that produces fats (lipids).
Smooth ER... i believe
