It synthesize many things.It synthesize steroids mainly.It also synthesize peroxisomes,glyoxisomes.It stores Ca++ in skeletal muscles.It deactivates hormones and detoxify in the liver.

No, bacteria do not have smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Smooth ER is a cell organelle found in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotic cells like bacteria.


What types of cells contain the organelles smooth ER and Rough ER in?

Smooth ER is found in cells that are involved in lipid metabolism, such as liver and muscle cells. Rough ER is found in cells that are responsible for protein synthesis, such as cells in the pancreas and salivary glands.

What types of cells have a lot of smooth er?

Cells that have high levels of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) include liver cells (hepatocytes), muscle cells, and steroid-producing cells like those found in the adrenal glands and gonads. Smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism, drug detoxification, and steroid hormone production in these cell types.


Does a plant cell have a rough and smooth ER?

No, they do not. Prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles such as rough endoplasmic reticulum. The 70s ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells are therefore free in the cytoplasm as opposed to attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


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.
