What organelle is involved in lipid production?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in these processes. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis.
What organelle is responsable for protein and lipid synthesis?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) is responsible for lipid synthesis however ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are also present in endoplasmic reticulum - rough E.R. Smooth E.R. contains no ribosomes.
What is the the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
What is the job of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
mainly synthesis of lipids.
What is A membranous structure that synthesizes fats?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), particularly the smooth ER is responsible in the synthesis of lipids. It also functions as the storage for calcium ions.
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum

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.
Site of steroid and fatty acid synthesis in a cellular structure?
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
What is the the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
What is a site of lipid synthesis?
In a cell,lipid synthesis takes place in Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum(SER).SER also works as a channel for transport of these lipids.Some of the lipids are used in formation of the plasma membrane.This process is known as bio genesis.
What is involved in the synthesis of steroids?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
How does rough ER differ from smooth ER in structures function?
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.
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
Is smooth er involved in protein synthesis?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not involved in protein synthesis. That is the job of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which gets its name from the ribosomes embedded on its surface.
What is the differencebetween''smooth'' and ''rough'' endoplasnic reticulum?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (reticulum plasmatic wrinkled?) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (reticulum plasmatic smooth?) si that the rough ER is dotted by ribosomes (hence "rough") that synthesize protein into the ER. The smooth ER does not possess ribosomes and has different functions such as lipid synthesis and xenobiotic detoxification.
