Solution
The correct option is C Smooth E. R
A zymogen or proenzyme is an inactive enzyme precursor. A zymogen requires a biochemical change such as a hydrolysis reaction revealing the active site, or changing the configuration to reveal the active site for it to become an active enzyme. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum secretes zymogen. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum has functions in several metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. The general structure of the endoplasmic reticulum is a network of membranes called cisternae. These sac-like structures are held together by the cytoskeleton. The network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum allows for an increased surface area to be devoted to the action or storage of key enzymes and the products of these enzymes.
