Basically, it performs the synthesis and modification of proteins and their shipping to the Golgi for further modification (O-glycosylation, for instance ), then the Golgi is the shipping department of the cell.. The smooth ER has to do with the modification of lipids and carbohydrates, and detoxification of the cell.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Endoplasmic Reticulum as a whole works to compartmentalize the cell by weaving into sheets all across the cell. The portions of the ER studded with ribosomes (labeled Rough) synthesize proteins while the portions without ribosomes (labeled Smooth) synthesize lipids. Basically, if you compare a cell to a city, the endoplasmic reticula are the roads in which materials can be processed and moved around inside of the cell.
It has ribosomes inside which make and sort proteins (also known as synthesis). Rough endoplasmic reticula synthesize proteins, while smooth endoplasmic reticula synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids, and regulate calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins.

There are two parts of the endoplasmic reticulum; the smooth and the rough. The endoplasmic reticulum has several general functions, one being the facilitation of protein folding and the transport of synthesized proteins in cisternae. Only proteins that are folded properly are transported into the Golgi complex from the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. The "ER" also attaches oligosaccharides in a process called Glycosylation. ( N-glycosylation ) 1. Proteins that are transported by the endoplasmic reticulum.
2. Glycosylation
3. Disulfide bond formation and rearrangement
4. Drug Metabolism

rough er is found through the cell
The main function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum is to transport materials to other locations.
There are two types of Endoplasmic Reticulum - rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
The rough ER is responsible for the production and export of proteins.
The smooth ER breaks down toxic drugs and toxic byproducts. It also stores steroids and ions for the cell.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is covered in ribosomes and helps produce most of the proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) does not have these ribosomes, and is almost solely for producing lipids.
Endoplasmic Reticulum has many functions. The main functions are folding of protein and transport of synthesized proteins

A smooth endoplasmic reticulum can be used for transportation. I think there are more functions but I'm not sure what they are. Also, a rough endoplasmic reticulum is just like smooth endoplasmic reticulum except with ribosomes attached.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of tubules and flattened sacs that serve many functions in the cell. ER is an acronym from the first letters of each word. e- endoplasmic; r- reticulum.
It is the smooth ER. They also produce lysosmes and peroxisomes
To view images of smooth endoplasmic reticulum one could look for biology books. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions with the production in several metabolic processes, it is "smooth" because it is not studded with ribosomes.
