What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum make?

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid and steroid hormone synthesis, detoxification of drugs and toxins, and calcium storage.


What organelles make transport and store lipids?

The Endoplasmic Reticulum, specifically, the smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumit is the ER


What is on rough endoplasmic reticulum that is not on smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Ribosomes make RER "rough". SER is smooth because it has none. RER makes proteins because of the ribosomes and SER makes lipids.


Which cell organelle synthesizes the lipids that make up the bulk of cell membranes?

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer, composed of phopholipids: A glyerol molecule with two fatty-acid groups at one end and a phosphate group at the other.Phospholipids are synthesised in the cytoplasm next to the endoplasmic reticulum. The ER sythesthies the lipids, and contains enzymes that catalyse the production of phopholipids such as Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase. The phospholipids produced migrate naturally to the internal face of the membrane, and flippase moves them to the outer face.


What is endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes?

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes within cells that is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Ribosomes are cellular structures where proteins are synthesized, either free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Together, they play a crucial role in the production and transportation of proteins within the cell.

Which cell organelle produces new membrane for the cell?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the cell organelle responsible for producing new membrane for the cell. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which helps in protein synthesis and membrane production.

Distinguish between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is rough because of the ribosomes, or the things that make proteins in the cell, are attached to it, making it rough. The smooth one is smooth because their are no ribosomes attached to it.

What is essentially rough endoplasmic reticulum and important metabolically?

The rough ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) has ribosomes on it. The Smooth ER does not. Ribosomes synthesize or make proteins.
