Solution
The correct option is C SER SER or the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the ER that is not associated with ribosomes. They help in the synthesis of steroids and lipids. It also helps in the detoxification of the liver with the help of enzymes that expel poisons and drugs out from the body.
Ribosomes are non-membrane bound organelles and are sites of protein synthesis. Ribosomes on RER are involved in the synthesis of proteins.
Golgi complex is the site of glycoproteins and glycolipids synthesis. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins that are formed in the nucleus and ER.
