A

B

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum makes lipids.


D

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum has ribosomes attached to it.


Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) functions as a manufacturing and packaging system. Smooth ER (SER) acts as a storage organelle. It is important in the creation and storage of lipids.. Rough ER (RER) is very important in the synthesis and packaging of proteins. Ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the ER, making it “rough.” It also helps in de-toxification and secreting out of drugs and toxic chemicals from the cell.
