Why do liver cells contain more smooth endoplasmic reticulum than other cell types?

Because liver cells create bile salts. This consists of cholestrol. Cholestrol is a lipid molecule. Lipids such as cholestrol and steroids are made and packaged in the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Feel free to correct me (anyone who spots anything wrong in my answer).

∙ 12y agoThe Smooth ER functions in the synthesis of lipids, including steroids. Cells of the ovaries and testes would be expected to have a great deal of SER because these organs produce large amounts of steroid hormones.

How many are endoplasmic reticulum?
There are ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but they are not called cells. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and the ribosomes are all in a cell and ribosomes are organelles in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What must all cells contain?
A nucleus, A cell Membrane, Golgi- bodies, mitochondria, A Rough endoplasmic reticulum, a Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, chromosomes, A nucleolus, A nuclear membrane, and Cytoplasm.
Do plants have endoplasmic reticulum?
Yes they do, they can have a rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) that has ribosomes on it. Or a soft endoplasmic reticulum (SER) with no ribosomes on it. Hope this helps!
Do all cells have a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No. Only eukaryotic cells have such organelles.
Do all cells have Endoplasmic Reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is not uniform throughout the cell. In places the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum are joined to the outer membrane. The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough. In rough endoplasmic reticulum the outer surface of the membranes are lined with ribosomes, in smooth endoplasmic reticulum, there are no ribosomes.
Does an animal have a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Yes; Animal cells contain a smooth endoplasmic reticulum (as well as plant cells).
The cells that produce the oils that coat are hair contain a lot of what?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum & smooth endoplasmic reticulum Because hair contain protein called keratin. Proteins are made in rough ER. And lipids are produced by the smooth ER.
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
Where is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in animal cells?
Both the plant cell and animal cell include smooth endoplasmic reticulum's.
How many are endoplasmic reticulum?
There are ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, but they are not called cells. The rough endoplasmic reticulum and the ribosomes are all in a cell and ribosomes are organelles in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the edoplasmic reticulum?
Endoplasmic reticulum is found in the cells of eukaryotic organisms. Endoplasmic reticulum is a type of organelle. Endoplasmic reticulum has two different types smooth or rough.
What must all cells contain?
A nucleus, A cell Membrane, Golgi- bodies, mitochondria, A Rough endoplasmic reticulum, a Smooth endoplasmic reticulum, chromosomes, A nucleolus, A nuclear membrane, and Cytoplasm.
Do plants have endoplasmic reticulum?
Yes they do, they can have a rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) that has ribosomes on it. Or a soft endoplasmic reticulum (SER) with no ribosomes on it. Hope this helps!
Does a plant cell have a rough and smooth ER?
No, they do not. Prokaryotic cells have no membrane-bound organelles such as rough endoplasmic reticulum. The 70s ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells are therefore free in the cytoplasm as opposed to attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What cells have Smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Both animal and plant cells have rough and smooth ER.
Do plant cells have rough or smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
both
Do all cells have a smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
No. Only eukaryotic cells have such organelles.
