Question

Match the Column-I with Column-II and select the correct option.

Column-I a. RER b. SER

Column-II (i) Detoxification of many poisons (ii) Synthesis of steroid hormones (iii) Biosynthesis of cholesterol (iv) Synthesis of glycogen (v) Synthesis of proteins

• A. a(v), b(i, ii, iii, iv)
• B. a(iv, v), b(i, ii, iii)
• C. a(i, iii, iv), b(ii, v)
• D. a(iii), b(i, ii, iv, v)

Answer 1

The correct option is A a(v), b(i, ii, iii, iv)

Rough endoplasmic reticulum or RER has ribosomes on its surface. It helps in protein synthesis. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum or SER, on the other hand, synthesizes glycogen, cholesterol and steroid hormones. It also helps in the detoxification of many poisons and drugs.
