Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the rough ER have and what is its function?
A
The rough ER does not have ribosomes. The function of the rough ER is to process lipids and carbohydrates to be exported from the cell.
B
The rough ER has ribosomes. The function of the smooth ER is to process proteins to be exported to the cell, so the cell does have proteins.
C
The rough ER has ribosomes. The function of the rough ER is to process proteins to be exported from the cell.
D
The rough ER has ribosomes. The function of the rough ER if to process lipids and carbohydrates to be exported from the cell.
E
The rough ER does have ribosomes. The function of the smooth ER is to process proteins to be exported from the cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Narration. The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Function: The majority of the functions of rough ER is associated with protein synthesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum also plays a vital role in protein folding. Also ensures quality control (regarding correct protein folding).

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: -Rough ER is a host for ribosomes that continually attach to and detach from the ER surface. Essentially, the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes work together in order to synthesize proteins and have them transported to their final destination.

Detailed explanation-5: -rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), series of connected flattened sacs, part of a continuous membrane organelle within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, that plays a central role in the synthesis of proteins.
