Question

Which of the given cell organelles carry out the functions given in the table?

• A. Ribosomes
• B. Chloroplast
• C. Mitochondria
• D. Endoplasmic reticulum

Answer 1

The correct option is D Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of numerous branched membranes from nuclear membrane to plasma membrane which is extensively spread in the cytoplasm. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesises the lipids which help in the formation of the plasma membrane and provides mechanical support. It also helps in detoxification of drugs. The vesicles of the endoplasmic reticulum transport the synthesised enzymes to Golgi bodies for further modification. Rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesises proteins.

So, the correct answer is option D.
