Solution

The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum has ribosomes transiently attached to its surface and is involved in the synthesis of proteins while the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids.
The cell membrane is made of lipid bilayer with proteins dispersed inbetween, classified as intrinsic and extrinsic proteins.
So, the correct answer is 'Endoplasmic reticulum'
