There isn't a clear relationship. ER transports proteins that were made on the attached ribosomes and mitochondria are the site where ATP is produced during respiration. =)

Endoplasmic Recticulum helps in the transportation of a substance within the cell.

Smooth ER is devoted almost exclusively to the manufacture of lipids and in some cases to the metabolism of them and associated products. In liver cells for example smooth ER enables glycogen that is stored as granules on the external surface of smooth ER to be broken down to glucose. Smooth ER is also involved in the production of steroid hormones in the adrenal cortex and endocrine glands.
