A cell that makes steroid hormones
Explanation:
- Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a cell organelle that is responsible for the steroid synthesis.
- SER lacks ribosomes on its surface and due to which it cannot participate in the production of proteins.
- It have other functions for example, in liver cells, the SER have several enzymes and other proteins which have capability of detoxification of a broad range of drugs and harmful substance.
- Hence, the correct answer of this question is option (C) a cell that makes steroid hormones because abundance of SER will increase the production of steroids in the cell.
