Great question, wish I knew, often wondered about the specific functions of the SER: Need Help Pls.

What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum make?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum contains enzymes that synthesize lipids that are used to make membranes.
What is on rough endoplasmic reticulum that is not on smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Ribosomes make RER "rough". SER is smooth because it has none. RER makes proteins because of the ribosomes and SER makes lipids.
What is endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes?
The ribosomes in a cell are the powerhouse of the cell; they make the proteins. The endoplasmic reticulum transports substances throughout the cell
What organelles make transport and store lipids?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum, specifically, the smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumit is the ER
Does smooth endoplasmic reticulum make energy?
no
What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum make?

What membrane lipids do smooth endoplasmic reticulum make?
Steroids

Which cell organelle produces new membrane for the cell?
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the manufacturing of membranes. It also creates ribosomes that make proteins for the cell.

smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Does smooth endoplasmic reticulum make energy?
no
What is a system of double membranes that make lipids?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Distinguish between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes, or the things that make proteins in the cell, are attached to it, making it rough. The smooth one is smooth because their are no ribosomes attached to it.
A system of double membranes that make lipids is called?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Smooth ER function?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) primarily functions in lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs and other harmful substances. It is also involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones.
