Worked practice questions

Rough ER differs from smooth ER in that

  1. rough ER is found only in plants
  2. rough ER carries chlorophyll
  3. rough ER has ribosomes, smooth doesn't
  4. rough ER sits inside the nucleus
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. rough ER has ribosomes, smooth doesn't

The 'rough' look comes from ribosomes studded on the ER membrane. They make proteins. Smooth ER has no surface ribosomes it handles lipid synthesis and detoxification. Both forms exist in plants and animals ER is in the cytoplasm chlorophyll lives in chloroplasts.
