Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum:- 1. SER is not associated with ribosomes. 2. These are mainly composed of tubules. 3. Generally, these are associated with plasma membrane. 4. Main function is lipid synthesis and hence mostly seen in cells associated with synthesis of steroid hormones. Rough...

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum:- 1. SER is not associated with ribosomes. 2. These are mainly composed of tubules. 3. Generally, these are associated with plasma membrane. 4. Main function is lipid synthesis and hence mostly seen in cells associated with synthesis of steroid hormones. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum:- 1. RER is studded with ribosomes. 2. These are mainly composed of cisternae. 3. Generally associated with nuclear membrane. 4. Main function is protein synthesis and hence mostly seen in cells associated with secretion of proteins. read less

Structural differences are ribosomal binding in RER (Granular ER) and not in SER (Agranular ER). Functional differences are RER is involved in protein synthesis whereas SER in lipid synthesis

Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with protein-producing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance, hence its name. It works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with both the nuclear envelope and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in several metabolic processes; it contains enzymes, and it stores calcium ions in muscle cells. Lipid synthesis takes place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. read less

The surface of rough ER is embeded with ribosomes. Whereas the smooth ER lacks ribosomes. Membrane proteins and secretory proteins are all produced on the ribosomes of the rough ER. Smooth Er also functions in detoxification, carbohydrate metabolism, storage of calcium ions

The primary distinction between rough and smooth ER is the presence of bound ribosomes on the rough ER, while both types of ER make phospholipids, membrane proteins & secretory proteins are all produced on the ribosomes of the rough ER. The smooth ER also functions in detoxification, carb metabolism...
