alleryThe Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) has its ribosomes attached to perform:
ALipid synthesis (steroids, oils)
BCellular detoxification of drugs
CProtein synthesis for secretion / membrane
DCalcium storage for muscle contraction
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Protein synthesis for secretion / membrane
RER (with ribosomes) makes proteins destined for:
(1) secretion outside cell
(2) plasma membrane; (3) lysosomes.
SER (no ribosomes) handles lipid synthesis, steroid synthesis, detoxification, calcium storage.
