because it has no ribosomes
The part of the cell that is responsible for synthesizing lipids is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins.
Smooth ER-synthesizes lipids and steroids, Rough ER-synthesizes proteins. Endoplasmic reticulum is rough when it contains Ribosomes.
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The (Smooth) Endoplasmic Reticulum.
more specifically: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) - synthesizes proteins constituting cell membrane. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) - synthesizes lipids constituting cell membrane
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) transports the proteins that are made by the ribosomes in the cell.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the cell organelle responsible for producing new membrane for the cell. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which helps in protein synthesis and membrane production.
The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle responsible for synthesizing lipids in a cell. It has two regions where lipid synthesis occurs: the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and the nuclear envelope. Lipids produced in the SER are important for various cellular functions, such as building cell membranes and storing energy.
The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes within cells that is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Ribosomes are cellular structures where proteins are synthesized, either free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Together, they play a crucial role in the production and transportation of proteins within the cell.
The organelle responsible for preparing proteins for export and synthesizing steroids is the endoplasmic reticulum. It has two forms, rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes for protein synthesis, and smooth ER, which is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes that synthesize proteins, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification.
