Lipids are modified in the smooth Endoplasmic reticulum and also in the Golgi appartus for transportation out of the cells.

The ER sends proteins and lipids it makes to what to be modified?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) sends proteins and lipids in membranous vesicles to the Golgi body (also known as the Golgi apparatus or the Golgi complex). The Golgi body looks like a stack of pita breads; it resembles the ER. There, the membranous vesicles containing proteins or lipids will fuse with one side of the Golgi body known as the cis face.Inside the Golgi body, proteins and lipids will have carbohydrate molecules added to them, forming glycoproteins (proteins with carbohydrates attached) and glycolipids (lipids with carbohydrates attached). After being modified, the glycoproteins and glycolipids will exit the Golgi body in membranous vesicles through the trans face (the side opposite the cisface).


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.

Does the Golgi apparatus have a polarity or sidedness to its structure and function?

Proteins in the membrane of the Golgi may be sorted and modified as they move from one side of the Golgi to the other. and Lipids in the membrane of the Golgi may be sorted and modified as they move from one side of the Golgi to the other.
