Question

Where do lipids and proteins constituting the plasma membrane get synthesised?

Answer 1

• The lipids and the proteins constituting the plasma membrane of the cell are synthesized by the cell organelle endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
• The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) showing the absence of ribosomes forms the lipid molecules of the plasma membrane.
• The protein molecules of cell membrane are mostly synthesized rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
