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.
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.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle referred to as rough or smooth. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a rough appearance, and is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein and lipid synthesis in a cell. It consists of two regions: the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is studded with ribosomes for protein synthesis, and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in lipid synthesis.
There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough ER and smooth ER. Rough ER is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, whereas smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
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
The two types of endoplasmic reticulum are rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

smooth endoplasmic reticulum
there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
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.
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.
They are not lysosomes. They are peroxisomes. (Reference: 12th edition of Guyton and Hall's 'textbook of medical physiology'.)
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum lacks ribosomes.
It is the endoplasmic reticulum.
