Smooth ER differs from rough ER in that smooth ER
- Acheck_circle
Lacks attached ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification
- B
Generates ATP through electron transport along its membranes
- C
Synthesizes proteins destined for secretion outside the cell
- D
Has many bound ribosomes attached and exports newly synthesized proteins from the cell
Explanation
Rough ER (with ribosomes) handles secretory protein synthesis. Smooth ER (no ribosomes) makes lipids, metabolizes drugs, etc.
