What does the somooth endoplasmic reticum do?

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.


What builds proteins for cell functions?

Proteins are made in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.


What part of the cell receives proteins from the ribosomes and modifies and shapes the into functions?

Rough Endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER)


What are 2 functions of the endoplasmic reticulum?

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


Which of these organelles is coverd in ribosomes?

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 makes the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulm rough?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface. This is what make is "rough"


What is an ER with ribosomes?

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.


What are the differences between the rough ER and the smooth ER?

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.
