Two general functions are the modification and folding of proteins in the lumen of the rough ER and the manufacture of lipids in the smooth ER. Also has the important job of calcium ion storage as these ions are important second messengers in cell signaling.

What does the smooth endoplasm reticulum do for the cell?

A smooth endoplasmic reticulum can be used for transportation. I think there are more functions but I'm not sure what they are. Also, a rough endoplasmic reticulum is just like smooth endoplasmic reticulum except with ribosomes attached.


What are non examples for endoplasmic reticulum?

Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes are non-examples of endoplasmic reticulum. These organelles serve different functions within the cell compared to the endoplasmic reticulum.


Does a paramicium have an endoplasmic reticulum?

Yes, a paramecium does not have an endoplasmic reticulum. It lacks membrane-bound organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum. This unicellular organism mainly relies on its cilia for movement and other structures for basic cellular functions.


Where can one view images of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

To view images of smooth endoplasmic reticulum one could look for biology books. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions with the production in several metabolic processes, it is "smooth" because it is not studded with ribosomes.


What is the organelle that synthesizes lipids?

The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle responsible for synthesizing lipids in a cell. It has two regions where lipid synthesis occurs: the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and the nuclear envelope. Lipids produced in the SER are important for various cellular functions, such as building cell membranes and storing energy.


Do plants have endoplasmic reticulum?

Yes, plants have endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is a vital organelle in plant cells involved in various functions such as protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and calcium storage. The ER in plants is structurally similar to that in animal cells.
