Question

One function of liver cells is lipogenesis, the process of converting excess dietary carbohydrates to lipids. What organelle in the liver cell performs this function?

Answer 1

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum performs this function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle made of connected membranes. Its function is to synthesize lipids that the cell needs for different activities. When there is an excess of carbohydrates, this organelle transforms them into lipids to storage them and use them when the body needs them.
