Question
lipid synthesis
where is the site of lipid synthesis?
smooth endoplasmic reticulum (er)
golgi apparatus
peroxisome
nucleus
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is known to be the main site of lipid synthesis in cells. It has enzymes that catalyze the reactions for lipid production. The Golgi apparatus is mainly involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell. Peroxisomes are involved in breaking - down fatty acids and other metabolic processes. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and is not the site of lipid synthesis.
