What is the differentce between a smooth endoplasmic reticulum and a rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The answer is Smooth ER and Rough ER The smooth ER no ribosomes. Processes lipids, stores energy The rough ER has ribosomes on it, makes proteins
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.

∙ 13y agoThere is smooth E.R. and rough E.R. The smooth ER is responsible for the synthesis of lipids and steroids, metabolism of carbs, regulation of calcium, and drug detoxification. It is connected to the nuclear envelope and found in animal and plant cells. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes, which manufacture proteins and give the ER the "rough" appearance.

∙ 11y agorough endoplasmic reticulum[RER] has ribosomes attached to it giving a rough appearance thereby deriving its name.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum[SER] is devoid of ribosomes.
RER- involved in protein synthesis as ribosomes are concerned with protein synthesis.
SER-concerned with lipid synthesis in intestinal cells&
with steroid formation in adrenals
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes - rough and smooth.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes on its surface, which produce proteins. The RER is more to do with compartmentalisation/modification of proteins while the SER is to do with lipids and carbohydrates.
Hope this helps!

∙ 11y agothe rough endoplasmic reticulum holds ribosomes, while the smooth one doesn't. also, the rough ER synthesizes proteins while the smooth ER synthesizes lipids such as oils, phospholipids, and steroids.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agothe two types of endoplasmic reticulum are smooth EPR and rough EPR smooth EPR doesnot contain ribosomes on its surface while rough EPR has ribosomes on its surface
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoTwo different types of endoplasmic reticulum are rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. I think.....

Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is an important difference between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Presence of ribosomes on RER.
Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.
Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and breaks down toxic material. Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes protein.
Where are the calcium ions stored in a muscle fiber?
In the sarcoplasmic reticulum (smooth er).
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
What is an important difference between the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Presence of ribosomes on RER.
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
Its called smooth Endoplasmic reticulum a.k.a Smooth ER

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.
Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Distinguish between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes, or the things that make proteins in the cell, are attached to it, making it rough. The smooth one is smooth because their are no ribosomes attached to it.
What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)
What is the the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
