The smooth ER is a system of internal membrane inside the cell which move proteins and other substance through the cell (works as a highway system). The rough ER is basically smooth ER with ribosomes stuck to it. The ER is made of lipid bi-layer, just like the cell membrane.
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.
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.
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.
Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle present in cells. There are 2 types: - smooth endoplasmic reticulum - rough endoplasmic reticulum The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface whereas the smooth one doesn't
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.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes and helps produce most of the proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have these ribosomes, and is almost solely for producing lipids.
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
endoplasmic reticulum is divided into two parts that are smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.It is the network of membranes which provide skeletal framework to the cell.
The smooth ER is similiar.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for making proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for synthesizing steroids, phospholipids, and lipids.
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.

there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)
