Question

Name the following organelle performing following function

Answer 1

Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum is the cell organelle present within the cytoplasm of an eukaryotic cell.

Based on the ribosomes attachment, the endoplasmic reticulum is of 2 types. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The Smooth ER has no ribosomes attached to it, while the rough ER has ribosomes attached. These ribosomes helps in the protein synthesis.

Additionally, other than protein synthesis endoplasmic reticulum also helps in protein folding, modification and their transport. It is also involved in the synthesis of lipids.

Therefore, rough endoplasmic reticulum and protein synthesis is the correct match with respect to the function.
