Why would the bathroom be a example of smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Without more context it is difficult to say but public restrooms have a sorting mechanism at the front that divide boys and girls into different doors, and then move them into stalls until the bodily functions are complete, and then to the sinks to wash their hands (I hope!) before finally leaving.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) performs this sort of sorting all of the time, though the fecal aspect of bathrooms seems a better match for rough ER.
You could say though, that the ER allows certain processes to take place in private instead of having to be exposed to the commotion of the more public spaces in a cell.

The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
Its called smooth Endoplasmic reticulum a.k.a Smooth ER
What is the the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
What organelle is involved in lipid production?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in these processes. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis.
Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes lipids and breaks down toxic material. Rough endoplasmic reticulum makes protein.
What is the organelle that synthesizes lipids?
It is the smooth ER. They also produce lysosmes and peroxisomes
What is the example of smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
television
Where are the calcium ions stored in a muscle fiber?
In the sarcoplasmic reticulum (smooth er).
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
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?
Its called smooth Endoplasmic reticulum a.k.a Smooth ER
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.
Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
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 the function of the reticulum?
The endoplasmic reticulum is a packaging system. There is a rough and a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is important in the creation and storage of steroids.
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What organelle is involved in lipid production?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in these processes. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis.
