What Makes steroid hormones.?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Cell stimulated to increase steroid production will have abundant?
it will have abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the function of endoplasmic reticulunm?
translation and folding of new proteins (rough endoplasmic reticulum), expression of lipids (smooth 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
What does a smooth endoplasmic reticulum do in a plant cell do?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a vast network of membrane-bound vesicles and tubules. It does the following: 1. lipid and steroid hormone synthesis 2. breakdown of lipid-soluble toxins in liver cells 3. control of calcium release in muscle cell contraction
Site of steroid and fatty acid synthesis in a cellular structure?
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum
What Makes steroid hormones.?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What kind of endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and breaks down harmful materials?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and steroid hormones.
What are the two main functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle that transports materials within a cell. It can be classified into two, namely: the rough endoplasmic reticulum which has ribosomes and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum which does not have ribosomes.
What do cells that produce steroid hormones for export out of the cell have large quantities of?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Cell stimulated to increase steroid production will have abundant?
it will have abundant smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelles carries out the biosynthesis of oils and detoxifies drugs and poisons?
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is the site of Lipid and steroid synthesis, Lipid Metabolism, and drug detoxification
Where are lipids and steroid hormones synthesized?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the main site for the synthesis of fatty acids, steroids, and lipids. Phospholipids for the cell membrane are produced here, and cholesterol is modified into steroid hormones, such as the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.
What is the function of endoplasmic reticulunm?
translation and folding of new proteins (rough endoplasmic reticulum), expression of lipids (smooth endoplasmic reticulum)
What is the plural of estrogen?
Estrogen is a female steroid hormone produced by the ovaries and as such has no plural.
What plays a role in synthesis of steroid based hormones and protein?
The Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum, catalyze reactions involved with: synthesis of steroid based hormones like sex hormones.
What is the site of phospholipid fatty acid and steroid synthesis and a temporary storage area for newly synthesized molecules?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
