Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?
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.
Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
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.
Is smooth ER continuous with the nuclear envelope?
The endoplasmic reticulum
What organelles are used to make testosterone?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Is the endoplasmic reticulum connected to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
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 smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
The portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that lacks attached ribosomes?
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.
What is the size of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
there is really no definite size of a smooth endoplasmic reticulum, they range in size. :)
What is another word for endoplasmic reticulum?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
What is the membranous system that has rough and smooth varieties?
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.
What membrane lipids do smooth endoplasmic reticulum make?
Steroids

What organelle detoxifies alcohol in the liver?
They are not lysosomes. They are peroxisomes. (Reference: 12th edition of Guyton and Hall's 'textbook of medical physiology'.)
