Which phrase best describes rough ER?
A
studded with ribosomes
B
protected by vesicles
C
connected to the Golgi apparatus
D
stored in the central vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The answer is option A) studded with ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins. Sometimes, when those proteins are made improperly, the proteins stay within the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The RER is associated with many roles in protein synthesis, which also include post-translational modifications, folding, and sorting. Membrane-bound ribosomes in the RER translate the mature mRNA transcript into amino acids that are attached to become polypeptides.

Detailed explanation-4: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is so named for the appearance of its outer surface, which is studded with protein-synthesizing particles known as ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribophorin, also known as a ribosome receptor protein, is a transmembrane glycoprotein that aids in the binding of ribosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum’s outer surface, generating rough endoplasmic reticulum. They attach the ribosome’s larger subunit (the 50S) to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
