What is the function of smooth ER (SER)?
Correct Answer: D — Synthesis and transport of lipids
Smooth ER does not contain any ribosome and is associated with cellular regions which are involved in the synthesis and transport of lipids or the detoxifications of a variety of poisons. It consists of tubules and vesicles that branch forming a network. The network of SER allows increased surface area for the action or storage of key enzymes and the products of these enzymes.
