What else can I help you with?
What are 2 functions of the endoplasmic reticulum?
if it's the rough ER then it functions to transport protein but if its the smooth ER it functions as a site of lipid and steroid synthesis
What is functions of ER?
something about the cell
What is one of the functions of a cell's ER?
transitional area for vesicles that transport ER products to various destinations
What organelle functions as a communication system for the cytoplasm?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions as a communication system for the cytoplasm because it is a network of tubules and sacs that helps transport molecules within the cell. There are two types of ER: rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, and smooth ER, which is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
What is the Rough ER functions?
It is thoroughly engaged with the functional synthesis of Proteins.
Smooth ER function?
Interesting the answer is to produce functions
What part of the body is like the smooth er?
The liver is like the smooth ER in the body because it plays a role in detoxification and lipid metabolism, similar to the functions of the smooth ER in cells.
What structure synthesizes?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), particularly the smooth ER is responsible in the synthesis of lipids. It also functions as the storage for calcium ions.
Functions of rough er andsmooth er?
Smooth ER synthesize lipids in cells.They also inlove in detoxification and also stores Ca2+ in skeletal muscles.Rough ER supply a large surface area for protein synthesis.They also produce phospholipids.
Describe the structures and functions of endoplasmic reticulumDescribe the structures and functions of endoplasmic reticulum?
Rough ER and Smooth ER.... Rough ER is covered in Ribosomes that produce proteins which are shipped to other parts of body ie; those that go to pancreas which will produce insulin and be released by pancreas. Smooth ER enzymes from smooth ER produce steroids, lipids, ells in ovaries and testes are covered in smooth er. Also covers the liver and creates a a enzyme that breaks down drugs in liver. Smooth ER also stores calcium for the body.
How much smooth er is in a cell?
That depends on a cell. Since the smooth ER functions in detoxification and synthesis of lipid and carbohydrate, cells that are in livers will tend to have much more smooth ER concentration compared to a skin cell.
What are the general functions of endoplasmic reticulum?
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.
