The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.
What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?
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.
What organelles that are sometimes referred to as rough or smooth depending on the structure?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle referred to as rough or smooth. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
What is the organelle that synthesizes lipids?
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.
Why is the smooth Endo Reticulum smooth?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is considered "smooth" because it does not contain ribosomes that attach to its walls. "Rough" endoplasmic reticulum, on the other hand, is classified as all endoplasmic reticulum walls where ribosomes are attached. Ribosomes are created inside the nucleus and often move through the endoplasmic reticulum in the process of carrying out their function - making proteins.
What organelle detoxifies alcohol in the liver?
They are not lysosomes. They are peroxisomes. (Reference: 12th edition of Guyton and Hall's 'textbook of medical physiology'.)
Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No because if they been connected then it be smooth endoplasmic reticulum or the rough endoplasmic reticulum and it will be one of the both :p
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage and release in muscle cells.
Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?
Two types of Endoplasmic Reticuli exists, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins -{from through}- VIA the ribosomes embedded within its structure. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroids.
What is the purpose of the smooth endoplasmic reticulem?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum creates lipids and steroids for the cell
In what organelle are steroids triglycerides and phospholipids synthesized?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?
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.
What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum do in a plant?
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) transports the proteins that are made by the ribosomes in the cell.
