What organelle is involved in lipid production?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in these processes. The rough ER is involved in protein synthesis. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis.
Is smooth er involved in protein synthesis?
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not involved in protein synthesis. That is the job of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which gets its name from the ribosomes embedded on its surface.
Why is the endoplasmic reticulum referred to as a biosynthetic factory?
yes rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in synthesis of protein
What ribosome cellular function are they involved in?
Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and are connected the the Endoplasmic Reticulum
What two types are involved in protein synthesis?
cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum
What organelle is responsable for protein and lipid synthesis?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.) is responsible for lipid synthesis however ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are also present in endoplasmic reticulum - rough E.R. Smooth E.R. contains no ribosomes.
What is the nickname for a endoplasmic reticulum in a cell?
The ER. It depends on if you are referring to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) or the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
Which organelle(s) is(are) involved in protein synthesis in the cell?
The organelle is the E.R.'s (Endoplasmic Reticulum) Its membrane of the E.R. is involved in membrane biogenesis. As the R.E.R (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) is involved in protein synthesis and the S.E.R (Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum) is involved in lipid formation. Lipids and proteins are used to make the plasma membrane of the cell. Hence E.R. is involved in membrane biogenesis. Hope this helped you. :D
What is the maze of tubes and sacs that produces a variety of molecules?
It is the endoplasmic reticulum.This consists of regions with embedded ribosomes (the rough endoplasmic reticulum) and regions without (smooth endoplasmic reticulum).The endoplasmic reticulum interconnects with the nuclear envelope, and is involved in both transport and metabolism, including lipid synthesis (in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum) and protein synthesis (in the rough endoplasmic reticulum).
What is the actual site of protein synthesis?
The endoplasmic reticulum
The Actual site of protein synthesis is?
The endoplasmic reticulum
What are some structures and organelles that are involved in protein synthesis?
Cytoplasm, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Mitochondria, Stroma, Ribosomes
