All About Cells
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Purpose: Stores vital molecules, such as ions and steriods, for different processes that regulate the cell's internal climate.
Location: Plant and Animal Cells
Importance: Without the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, the cell would collapse from the extreme conditions of the outer area because it would have no way to regulate its interior.
