The Smooth ER takes toxins out of the cell... with out an efficient ER toxins would build up in our cells and eventually we would be come so toxic that we would die.
It lacks ribosomes.
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.
Rough ER has ribosomes. Smooth ER lack those
Smooth ER
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is formed through the extension and branching of membrane tubules that lack ribosomes, in contrast to rough ER which has ribosomes attached to its surface. The smooth ER plays an important role in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium storage within the cell.
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.
No, red blood cells do not have smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Red blood cells lack most organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum, because their primary function is to carry oxygen throughout the body.
Yes, they do have smooth ER.
I am not sure the smooth ER has a discernible color. The only way to really 'see' the smooth ER is via electron microscope, which only shows pictures in grey-scale, or with a strong light microscope after staining.
Rough ER has numerous ribosomes on its surface. These are absent on smooth ER. Smooth ER studded with ribosomes. Rough ER transport of materials.
The difference between ruff ER and smooth ER is ruff ER contains attached ribosomes giving it the rough appearance, where as smooth ER does not.
