Solution
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum:
The Endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane-bound cell organelle that is made up of a complex network of tubes and is located in the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell.
It is located near the periphery of the cell.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a type of endoplasmic reticulum that is a tubular structure that does not consist of ribosomes that give it a smooth appearance.
The function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the transportation of products secreted by the rough endoplasmic reticulum to other cell organelles.
