They are coated with ribosomes. Near the nucleus, this type of ER merges with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. ii Smooth surfaced ER: They do not have attached ribosomes. Function of smooth ER: Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved: i In lipid synthesis and ii Modification and transpo of proteins synthesised in the rough ERRef: M.N.
