Write the main functions of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex

Dear student,

Functions of smooth endoplasmic reticulum:
Smooth ER synthesises fats and lipids.
It also takes part in the metabolism of carbohydrates.
It actively participates in drug detoxification.
It maintains the calcium ion concentration in the cytosol.
Functions of rough endoplasmic reticulum:
Most of the lysosomal proteins are produced in the rough ER.
It transports proteins to various destinations like the plasma membrane.
This is the major site of glycosylation (addition of carbohydrates in proteins).
 

Functions of golgi complex are as follows:

• It involves the transport of lipids in cells.

• It involves the formation of lysosomes.

• It also takes part in glycosylation and phosphorylation of certain proteins.
