A conveyor belt in a factory can be compared to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a cell. Just as a conveyor belt transports materials smoothly within a factory, the smooth ER transports molecules like lipids and proteins within a cell.
The main difference between rough ER and smooth ER is the presence of ribosomes. Rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which gives it a rough appearance, while smooth ER lacks ribosomes. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) can be likened to a highway system within a city. It is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis, like a city's factories producing goods. Just as highways transport goods throughout the city, the SER transports these synthesized molecules to where they are needed in the cell.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is formed through the extension and branching of membrane tubules that lack ribosomes, in contrast to rough ER which has ribosomes attached to its surface. The smooth ER plays an important role in lipid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium storage within the cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER) Endoplasmic Reticulum The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes found within almost all eukaryotic cells. The membranes are connected to the membrane of the cell’s nucleus and are important for many cellular processes such as protein production and the metabolism of lipids and carbohydrates. The endoplasmic reticulum includes both the smooth ER and the rough ER. The smooth ER is a smooth membrane and has no ribosomes, whereas the rough ER has ribosomes that are used to produce proteins.
ER stands for endoplasmic reticulum. In Latin, reticulummeans "little net". ER surrounds the nucleus and comes in two forms: rough (ribosomes embedded in membrane) and smooth (no ribosomes).
A good analogy for ER is a hospital. It is a good analogy because they are all trying to play their part
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum can be compared to a factory warehouse that focuses on storage and packaging. Just like a warehouse organizes and packages products before sending them off, the smooth ER processes and stores lipids and detoxifies harmful substances within a cell.
Yes, they do have smooth ER.
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 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 ER. It depends on if you are referring to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) or the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
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.
An analogy is a similarity between two things on which a comparison may be based. With what are you comparing your factory
They are made in ER. Smooth ER involve in that
Rough ER looks like a maze and smooth ER looks like a sculpture. Another thing is that the Rough ER has ribosomes on it while the Smooth ER doesnt.
