Where do lipids and proteins synthesis
Answers
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- Lipids are synthesized in Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
- Proteins are synthesized in rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum:-
→ The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a membranous organelle found in most eukaryotic cells.
→ The main function of the SER is to make cellular products like hormones and lipids.
→ The SER also regulates and releases calcium ions and processes toxins.
→ It is described as smooth to distinguish it from RER which has ribosomes for protein synthesis on its surface.
Rough endoplasmic reticulum:-
→ The Rough endoplasmic reticulum is basically a series of connected flattened sacs part of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins.
→ Basically the main functions of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is to produce and process specific proteins.
→ These are the exported through the secretory pathway.
→ After they are exported via membrane vesicles they can be sent to the Golgi Apparatus to be further processed or to organelles.
