Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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. In addition, it is involved in carbohydrate metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum is the site of lipid synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is devoted almost exclusively to the manufacture of lipids, and in some cases the metabolism of lipids and their associated products. Smooth ER synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. It also carries out the metabolism of carbohydrates and drug detoxification.

Detailed explanation-5: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main site for lipid synthesis.
