What function is preformed by the smooth er inside the membrane?

Answer 1

Smooth ER is more tubular than rough ER and forms a separate sealed interconnecting network. It is found fairly evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. It is not studded with ribosomes hence ‘smooth ER’.
Smooth ER is devoted almost exclusively to the manufacture of lipids and in some cases to the metabolism of them and associated products. In liver cells for example smooth ER enables glycogen that is stored as granules on the external (out side layer) surface of smooth ER to be broken down to glucose.
Smooth ER is also involved in the production of steroid hormones in the adrenal cortex and endocrine glands.
Smooth ER – the detox stop
Smooth ER also plays a large part in detoxifying a number of organic chemicals converting them to safer water-soluble products.
Large amounts of smooth ER are found in liver cells where one of its main functions is to detoxify products of natural metabolism and to endeavor to detoxify overloads of ethanol derived from excess alcoholic drinking and also barbiturates from drug overdose.
To assist with this, smooth ER can double its surface area within a few days, returning to its normal size when the assault has subsided.The contraction of muscle cells is triggered by the orderly release of calcium ions.
These ions are released from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum inner surface.

Answer 2

it makes lipids and carbohydrates
