Question

The formation of cell membrane is termed as

a. Endocytosis

b. Membrane Biogenesis

c. Plasmolysis

d. Glycolysis​

Answer 1

The appropriate answer to the question is :

b. Membrane Biogenesis

Answer 2

$\large{\boxed{\rm{(b) \: Membrane \: Biogenesis}}}$

Membrane Biogenesis is the process by which cell membrane is formed . Cell membrane is made up of proteins and lipids which are synthesised by Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and Smooth endoplasmic reticulum respectively.

Endoplasmic Reticulum :

Endoplasmic reticulum is a double membrane bound cell organelle found in Eukaryotic as well as Prokaryotic cells.

It is of two types :

1. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum :

• Have ribosomes embed into its wall hence called Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
• Associated with Protein synthesis.
• Found either attached or near the nucleus .

2. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum :

• Don't have ribosomes hence appear to be smooth.
• Associated with Lipid synthesis.
• Found either near the nucleus or loosely left in cytoplasm.
