Lipid droplets in the endoplasmic reticulum

Reference no: EM13531189

It is thought that excess lipids in the cell are packaged into lipid droplets in the endoplasmic reticulum. Explain why lipid droplets bare surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer and not a phospholipid bilayer, like other vesicles that bud from the endoplasmic reticulum.
