The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is present in all eukaryotic cells. However, it can have an increased concentration in certain cell types within the human body. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum's main functions and the cell type most associated with that function are:
- Synthesis/storage of lipids (brain cells)
- Synthesis of steroids/hormones (reproductive organs)
- Metabolism of carbohydrates (muscle and brain cells)
- Regulation of calcium ions (muscle and brain cells)
- Drug detoxification (liver cells)
What else can I help you with?
Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
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.
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils in a cell. It uses enzymes to catalyze the reactions involved in building lipid molecules, including oils.
Is smooth ER continuous with the nuclear envelope?
The endoplasmic reticulum
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 another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)
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 name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
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.
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils in a cell. It uses enzymes to catalyze the reactions involved in building lipid molecules, including oils.
What organelle detoxifies alcohol in the liver?
They are not lysosomes. They are peroxisomes. (Reference: 12th edition of Guyton and Hall's 'textbook of medical physiology'.)
Is the endoplasmic reticulum in an animal cell?
the endoplasmic reticulum is in both plant and animal cells. there is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and then there is the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
What is the endoplasmic reticulum lacking ribosomes?
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum lacks ribosomes.
