Question

V. SHORT ANSWER: 2X3=6

1. What are the functions of endoplasmic reticulum?

2. How do amoeba and paramecium reproduce?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves important functions particularly in the synthesis, folding, modification, and transport of proteins. Differences in certain physical and functional characteristics distinguish the two types of ER, known as rough ER (RER) and smooth ER (SER).

2) asexually

Answer 2

Answer:

Functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

• It is mainly responsible for the transportation of proteins and other carbohydrates to another organelle, which includes lysosomes, Golgi apparatus, plasma membrane, etc.

• They provide the increased surface area for cellular reactions.

• They help in the formation of nuclear membrane during cell division.

• They play a vital role in the formation of the skeletal framework.

• They play a vital role in the synthesis of proteins, lipids, glycogen and other steroids like cholesterol, progesterone, testosterone, etc.

Explanation:

Amoeba and Paramecium reproduce asexually through binary fission.
