Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
By:Na-Dearah Scott
Structure
branching tubules that extends throughout the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells
Held by cytoskeleton Contains enzymes Found in both plant and animal cells Tubes sometimes form a network that is reticular in
shape
Function
Synthesizes lipids, phospholipids and steroids Detoxification of drugs and poisons Storage of calcium Carries out the metabolism of carbohydrates
Interesting Facts
The smooth ER has a high surface area for more productivity
Does not contain ribosomes In the liver cell smooth ER produces glycogen
