Detailed explanation-1: -Regions of ER that lack bound ribosomes are called smooth endoplasmic reticulum, or smooth ER. In the great majority of cells, such regions are scanty and are often partly smooth and partly rough.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rough ER, which is covered by ribosomes on its outer surface, functions in protein processing. The smooth ER is not associated with ribosomes and is involved in lipid, rather than protein, metabolism.
Detailed explanation-3: -sER is a membrane-bound network of tubules (see Figs. 1-1 and 1-3) without surface ribosomes. sER is not involved in protein synthesis. Its main function is the synthesis of lipids, steroids, and carbohydrates, as well as the metabolism of exogenous substances, such as drugs or toxins.
