Solution

The correct option is C Rough endoplasmic reticulum

  • The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes found throughout the cell and connected to the nucleus.
  • It is of two types RER and SER. Rough ER (RER) is the endoplasmic reticulum attached to the ribosome and thus involves the formation and transportation of proteins.
  • Smooth ER (SER) is the endoplasmic reticulum devoid of the ribosome and involved in the production and transportation of lipids and steroids.
  • It is smooth because it is not studded with ribosomes and is associated with smooth slippery fats.
