The SER lacks ribosomes embeded within the membrane of the ER. The "rough" description is given due to the visible ribosomal bodies covering the exterior surface.

What does lack of smooth ER do to your body?

The Smooth ER takes toxins out of the cell... with out an efficient ER toxins would build up in our cells and eventually we would be come so toxic that we would die.


How does smooth ER form?

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.

What color is smooth ER in an animal cell?

I am not sure the smooth ER has a discernible color. The only way to really 'see' the smooth ER is via electron microscope, which only shows pictures in grey-scale, or with a strong light microscope after staining.


How can you tell rough ER from the smooth 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.
