Smooth ER-synthesizes lipids and steroids,

Rough ER-synthesizes proteins.

Endoplasmic reticulum is rough when it contains Ribosomes.

What is the edoplasmic reticulum?

Endoplasmic reticulum is found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms. Endoplasmic reticulum is a type of organelle. Endoplasmic reticulum has two different types smooth or rough.


Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p


Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?

Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.


What does the rough endoplasmic reticulum have that's different from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

They are both the same thing except for one thing that is the rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes around it .


Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.


The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?

The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.


What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?

smooth endoplasmic reticulum


What is the size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)


What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?

smooth endoplasmic reticulum


Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes.


What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?

The endoplasmic reticulum is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that synthesize proteins, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification.


What are the differences between the rough ER and the smooth ER?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with protein-producing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance, hence its name. It works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with both the nuclear envelope and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in several metabolic processes; it contains enzymes, and it stores calcium ions in muscle cells. Lipid synthesis takes place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
