Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Function: Smooth ER is responsible for the synthesis of essential lipids such as phospholipids and cholesterol. Smooth ER is also responsible for the production and secretion of steroid hormones. It is also responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -The smooth endoplasmic reticulum functions in many metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids. Cells that secrete these products, such as cells of the testes, ovaries, and skin oil glands, have an excess of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Functions of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum. The smooth ER is important in the synthesis of lipids, such as cholesterol and phospholipids, which form all the membranes of the organism. In addition it is important for the synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones from cholesterol and other lipid precursors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is mainly concerned with the synthesis of carbohydrate and lipids, and sometimes, with their metabolism.
