Solution
The correct option is C Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
The ER membrane is similar in structure to the plasma membrane.
- There are two types of ER– rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
- RER looks rough under a microscope because it has particles called ribosomes attached to its surface.
- The ribosomes, which are present in all active cells, are the sites of protein manufacture. The manufactured proteins are then sent to various places in the cell depending on need, using the ER.
- The SER helps in the manufacture of fat molecules, or lipids.
