What is smooth Endoplasmic reticulum?

Question

Sebastian Alvarado · Accepted Answer

The endoplasmic reticulum without ribososmes.

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulums: the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
The rough endoplasmic reticulum, also known as simply RER, contains ribosomes, whereas the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, also known as simply SER, is known to contain ribosomes. The endoplasmic forms

William Albracht · Answer

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and functions in lipid metabolism, production of steroid hormones and detoxification.

A type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells called the endoplasmic reticulum creates the network of connected cisternea, which are flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures. A larger surface area can be dedicated to the activity or storage of important enzymes and their byproducts thanks to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum network. Moreover, it performs the metabolism of carbohydrates, the detoxification of substances derived from natural metabolism, including alcohol and drugs, and the binding of receptors to proteins found on cell membranes.

Ivy Acosta · Answer

undefined The cell organelle known as the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is in charge of detoxification, calcium ion storage, and lipid synthesis.
