Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle present in cells. There are 2 types:

- smooth endoplasmic reticulum

- rough endoplasmic reticulum

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface whereas the smooth one doesn't

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.


Why is the smooth Endo Reticulum smooth?

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is considered "smooth" because it does not contain ribosomes that attach to its walls. "Rough" endoplasmic reticulum, on the other hand, is classified as all endoplasmic reticulum walls where ribosomes are attached. Ribosomes are created inside the nucleus and often move through the endoplasmic reticulum in the process of carrying out their function - making proteins.


What is the organelle that synthesizes lipids?

The endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle responsible for synthesizing lipids in a cell. It has two regions where lipid synthesis occurs: the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and the nuclear envelope. Lipids produced in the SER are important for various cellular functions, such as building cell membranes and storing energy.


Morphological differences between rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes. Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis and processing, while smooth ER is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification processes.

yes


Do ribosomes make the difference between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Im answering my own question and it feels awsome and the answer is yes it does because the ribsomes make the endplasmic reticulum rough and without the ribosomes it is a smooth endoplasmic reticulum. My name is Bob and I like pie.

Where are the calcium ions stored in a muscle fiber?

Calcium ions in muscle fibers are stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which is a specialized form of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells. When a muscle is stimulated to contract, the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions into the cytoplasm, triggering muscle contraction.


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 size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

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


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.
