The smooth endoplasmic reticulum performs similar functions as the rough ER, such as lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs and toxins. However, it lacks ribosomes and does not participate in protein synthesis like the rough ER.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a bumpy appearance, and is responsible for protein synthesis and processing. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification, and storage of calcium ions.
Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and are involved in modifying proteins. Smooth ER has no ribosomes and is involved with making and modifying fats. Smooth ER lacks the ribosomes that cover the rough ER.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a network of intracellular membranes, it links the plasma membrane and other membraneous organelles. it is involved in the production, processing, transport and storage of materials within a cell.Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER), is assosisated with ribosomes, where proteins are made.Smooth endoplasmic reticulum(SER), lacks ribosomes and is involved in the metabolism of certain compounds and synthesis of lipids.
The main difference is the presence of ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), giving it a "rough" appearance, while the smooth ER lacks ribosomes and appears smooth. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while the smooth ER plays a role in lipid metabolism and detoxification.
The smooth ER is similiar.

I believe the same in a human. The Rough ER is where protein synthesis takes place... or in smooth ER it is where lipids are synthesised
produce lipids
depends on what type of cell you are wondering about. look up a specific cell type and then the function of the smooth ER in that cell
The two types of ER are rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and smooth ER. Rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, where protein synthesis occurs. Smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism, detoxification of drugs, and storage of calcium ions.
Yes, they do have smooth ER.
Rough ER has numerous ribosomes on its surface. These are absent on smooth ER. Smooth ER studded with ribosomes. Rough ER transport of materials.
The difference between ruff ER and smooth ER is ruff ER contains attached ribosomes giving it the rough appearance, where as smooth ER does not.

The rough ER is the site of protein modification and folding of proteins, if they need folding. The smooth ER is the site of lipid and steroid synthesis.
