Feb 10, 2018 · Smooth endoplasmic reticulum A type of Endoplasmic reticulum; which has a smooth surface because it don't have any ribosomes on it's surface which are the main cause of a rough surface.. One of the most important and main functions of Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is detoxification, which is the removal of all the toxic materials such as (metabolic wastes or drugs). These detoxification processes all done, by the Smooth endoplasmic reticulum present in the liver (which is a organ pretty much ...
Aug 22, 2016 · The two differ in their function, and one is smooth and the other is rough. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is smooth, and the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is rough. Both the SER and RER are large continuous sheets of membrane that fold back on themselves to form an enclosed space (lumen). Think of this as like a cloth bag that has had its opening stitched closed and then the bag screwed-up to make a small ball (see below). When viewed under an electron microscope (as shown in ...
Nov 4, 2016 · The mechanical support, exchange, translocation, sythesis of organic compounds etc., are performed on the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum forms a continuous system with rough endoplasmic reticulum. It consists of smooth membrane segments and is found in the regions of rich glycogen. It is related with peroxisomes. The functions of SER include mechanical support to the cells, exchange and translocation of substances, synthesis of lipoprotein, glycogen, etc ...
Feb 7, 2018 · Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is involved in the production of Lipids, steroids and phospholipids. smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the type of an endoplasmic reticulum which does not bear ribosome on their surface. It is associated with glycogenolysis. It is responsible for the synthesis and repair of the membrane by providing lipids and phospholipids. SER is also known to synthesize steroids. It also plays a role in detoxification in the liver.
Jan 11, 2017 · The Endoplasmic reticulum is a type of organelle in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened , membrane enclosed sacs or tube like structures known as cisternea. The network of smooth Endoplasmic reticulum allows for an increased surface area, to be devoted to the action or storage of key enzymes and the products of ...
Jan 7, 2018 · The endoplasmic reticulum looks like a system with membranes that form cavities, flat cisterns and non-lamellar, round structures. It can contain ribosomes and than we call it -> rough endoplasmic reticulum When the ER has no ribosomes it is called -> the smooth endoplasmic reticulum Endoplasmic reticulum is a system of intracellular membranes that produce and transport substances. It is a system of flat cavities or cisterns. There are two types of ER: rough and smooth. The rough endoplasmic ...
Jun 23, 2016 · The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is an organelle that is involved in the production of steroid hormones and (phospho) lipids. The SER is called smooth because it is compared to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The RER is involved in protein production and folding; for this it requires ribosomes that are associated with the RER ...
Jan 4, 2017 · Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is found in a variety of cell types and has functions in several metabolic processes. It synthesises lipids, phospholipids and steroids. Cells of the testes, ovaries and sebaceous glands have an abundance of SER. SER also carries out the metabolism of carbohydrates and steroids. It also carries out the detoxification of natural metabolism products and of alcohol and drugs, as well as attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins. SER also contains the ...
Oct 18, 2016 · The Endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane- bound cell organelle generally found in all eukaryotic cells. It is of 2 types. Rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Main function of Rough Endoplasmic reticulum is protein synthesis and help them fold properly.
Nov 21, 2016 · Structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes with either ribosomes present or absent. Structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes. These network structures are interwoven together and form the cytoskeleton. The phospholipid nature of membrane encloses the space or lumen. The spaces are continuous with the perinuclear space. On the basis of either ribosomes present or absent, the endoplasmic reticulums are following two types. 1. Rough endoplasmic ...
