What is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
A. Lipid synthesis
B. Protein degradation
C. ATP synthesis
D. Glycogen storage
Answer (2)
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum primarily functions in lipid synthesis and the detoxification of drugs. It produces essential lipids and plays a vital role in calcium ion storage. Through its functions, the SER supports various cellular activities, particularly in muscle contraction and membrane formation. ;
The function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is primarily lipid synthesis, along with roles in detoxification and calcium storage. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Lipid synthesis.
