Analogy of smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Question

Write down the analogy for a smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer 1

Endoplasmic reticulum (or ER) is just like a manufacturing plant, and also like a factory, where lipids and proteins are made. This is as well where things are packaged in boxed and sent off to dissimilar places. In cell the smooth ER is a network of the membrane bound bodies which require ribosomes (molecules employed in protein synthesis) and its vital function is to transform, summarize and transport new synthesized lipids and proteins which will be secreted or continue in cytoplasm as membrane bound vesicles. The smooth ER can as well be compared to a highway, or a lipid and protein highway.
