Smooth Endoplasmic
Reticulum
By:Na-Dearah Scott
Structure

branching tubules that extends throughout the
cytoplasm in plant and animal cells

Held by cytoskeleton

Contains enzymes

Found in both plant and animal cells

Tubes sometimes form a network that is reticular in
shape
Function

Synthesizes lipids, phospholipids and steroids

Detoxification of drugs and poisons

Storage of calcium

Carries out the metabolism of carbohydrates
Interesting Facts

The smooth ER has a high surface area for more
productivity

Does not contain ribosomes

In the liver cell smooth ER produces glycogen
