Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids, and steroids?
A
ribosome
B
lysosome
C
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
D
mitochondrion
E
central vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The smooth endoplasmic reticulum functions in many metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which type of organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids, and steroids? Smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Despite the wide distribution of most phospholipid classes throughout organelle membranes, the site of synthesis of each phospholipid class is usually restricted to one organelle, commonly the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for the manufacture of lipids and steroids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle which is responsible for lipid synthesis and also the synthesis and storage of glycogen.
