Question

Organelle associated with lipid and lipoprotein synthesis is

• A. Mitochondria
• B. E.R.
• C. Chloroplasts
• D. Lysosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is B E.R.

• The endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) is an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structure which are evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm.
  
• A smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes.
• It helps in the production and metabolism of lipid, it also produces lipoproteins, steroid hormones and helps in detoxification.
• So, the correct answer is 'E.R'.
