Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of smooth endoplasmic reticulum that faces the cytoplasm lacks ribbon hence the name smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum facing the cytoplasm is studded with ribosomes hence the name rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Both are part of the endomembrane system

The smooth ER functions in the detoxification of drugs.

The rough ER due to the fact that it is students with ribosomes also functions in protein synthesis

The smooth ER coupled with the detoxification of drugs or excess alcohol also help in the synthesis of lipids.
