(b) The smooth endoplasmic reticulum produces nearly all of the lipids required for the elaboration of new cell membranes, including both phospholipids and cholesterol. The major phospholipid is made up of phosphatidylcholine also called lecithin. Lecithin maintains continuity between the water and lipid phases inside and outside the cell. |
