Question

Which one of the following organelle in the figure correctly matches with its functions?

• A. RER, protein synthesis
• B. RER, glycoproteins
• C. Golgi apparatus, protein synthesis
• D. Golgi apparatus, formation of glycolipids

Answer 1

The correct option is A RER, protein synthesis

• The cellular organelle shown in the diagram is Rough endoplasmic reticulum.
  
• The endoplasmic reticulum (smooth and rough) is an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structure which are evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm.
  
• The RER is studded with ribosomes and thus, it is responsible for the synthesis of proteins.
• So, the correct answer is 'RER, protein synthesis'.
