The ER synthesizes lipids and makes transport vesicles, but does not have ribosomes associated with it.
Question
The ER synthesizes lipids and makes transport vesicles, but does not have ribosomes associated with it.
Solution
The statement you provided is partially incorrect. The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is indeed involved in the synthesis of lipids and the production of transport vesicles. However, it can have ribosomes associated with it.
The ER is divided into two types: Smooth ER and Rough ER.
-
The Smooth ER is involved in the synthesis of lipids, metabolism of carbohydrates, detoxification of drugs and poisons, and storage of calcium ions. It does not have ribosomes on its surface.
-
The Rough ER is studded with ribosomes on the outer surface, hence the name "rough". These ribosomes synthesize proteins that are either secreted from the cell, incorporated into the cell's membranes,
