Where lipids are synthesized in eukaryotes?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Name the two kinds of endoplasmic reticulum?
The two types of endoplasmic reticulum are rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which has ribosomes on its surface and is involved in protein synthesis, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER), which lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
What is the name of the organelle that synthesizes lipids and carbohydrates?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils?
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils in a cell. It uses enzymes to catalyze the reactions involved in building lipid molecules, including oils.
Is smooth ER continuous with the nuclear envelope?
The endoplasmic reticulum
