Providing surface for protein synthesis.Production of phospholipids.
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is responsible for various cellular functions, primarily related to lipid synthesis, metabolism, and detoxification. It plays a key role in the production of lipids, including phospholipids and cholesterol, which are essential for cell membrane formation. Additionally, the SER is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and the detoxification of drugs and poisons. Unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum, it lacks ribosomes on its surface, giving it a smooth appearance.
Proteins are made in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER)
if it's the rough ER then it functions to transport protein but if its the smooth ER it functions as a site of lipid and steroid synthesis

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered in ribosomes. In fact, it is called 'rough' because of the presence of ribosomes which give it a rough looking appearance. Technically, the rough endoplasmic reticulum is actually the region of the greater 'endoplasmic reticulum' where protein synthesis takes place. Another region of the endoplasmic reticulum is the 'smooth endoplasmic reticulum' where lipids are synthesized and other metabolic functions take place. The quantity of rough versus smooth endoplasmic reticulum is somewhat in flux and varies based on the needs of the cell.

what does a rough endoplasmic reticulum do for a cell
The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface. This is what make is "rough"
An endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with ribosomes on its surface is called rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The ribosomes on the RER are responsible for protein synthesis, which is then transported to different parts of the cell for various functions.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with protein-producing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance, hence its name. It works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with both the nuclear envelope and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in several metabolic processes; it contains enzymes, and it stores calcium ions in muscle cells. Lipid synthesis takes place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
