The organelle that is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids, and steroids is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a system of tubules within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells - both plant and animal cells. It is as opposed to the rough endoplasmic reticulum which has ribosomes attached to its own surfaces to give it a rough appearance.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in several metabolic processes, such as:

  • Lipid synthesis
  • Phospholipid synthesis
  • metabolism of carbohydrates
  • synthesis of oil
  • regulation of calcium ion storage in muscle cells
  • metabolism of toxins
