Lipids that constitute the cell membrane are primarily synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The smooth ER is particularly involved in the production of phospholipids and cholesterol, which are essential components of the membrane. Once synthesized, these lipids can be transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and distribution to various cellular membranes.
Lipids are primarily synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum of cells, specifically in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The process of membrane formation is known as lipid bilayer assembly, where phospholipids spontaneously arrange themselves to form a double layer, providing the structural basis for cell membranes.
The Golgi body, or Golgi apparatus, processes and packages proteins and lipids synthesized by the cell. It modifies these molecules and directs them to their proper destinations within or outside the cell.
Lipids that make up cell membranes are primarily synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), particularly the smooth ER. Phospholipids and cholesterol, essential components of the lipid bilayer, are produced here and then transported to the cell membrane. Additionally, some lipid modifications and assembly can occur in the Golgi apparatus before being incorporated into the membrane.
The Golgi apparatus processes and packages proteins and lipids synthesized by the cell. It modifies these molecules and prepares them for transport to their final cellular or extracellular destinations.
I think in the ER and ribosomes.
The endoplasmic reticulum is the site of transport for lipids and carbohydrates. Here, they are synthesized and transported to other parts of the cell.

more specifically: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) - synthesizes proteins constituting cell membrane. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) - synthesizes lipids constituting cell membrane

Ribosomal proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the cell.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the main site for the synthesis of fatty acids, steroids, and lipids. Phospholipids for the cell membrane are produced here, and cholesterol is modified into steroid hormones, such as the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.
