the endoplasmic reticulumn is the site where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.

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 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 is the site where proteins are assembled?

Proteins are assembled at ribosomes, which are cellular organelles responsible for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences that make up proteins. This process occurs during a cell's protein synthesis or translation process.


What kind of endoplasmic reticulum are you likely to find in cells that line the stomach?

Cells that line the stomach will likely contain rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) because these cells produce and secrete digestive enzymes and mucus. The RER is responsible for protein synthesis and modification before they are transported to other parts of the cell or secreted.

In which organelle are lipids components of the cell membrane assembled?

The smooth parts of the Endoplasmic Reticulum. :)


What is analogous to a rough endoplasmic reticulum and why?

It makes components of the cell membrane and are assembled and proteins are modified. Just like the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.


What type of macromolecule do smooth and rough ER produce?

Smooth ER is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis.


What does endoplacmicruticulum mean?

the endoplasmic reticulum is in all animal cells. more precisely eukaryotic cells. the endoplasmic reticulum is where lipid components and the cell membrane are assembled. the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) can be broken into the smooth and rough ER. the smooth ER contains enzymes that perform special tasks like processing drugs in the liver. the rough ER is where the production of prroteins begin


Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.


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'.)


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

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


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 size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

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