Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle helps in the manufacturing of vesicles and vacuoles?
A
Rough ER
B
Smooth ER
C
Golgi bodies
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The smooth endoplasmic reticulum functions in many metabolic processes. It synthesizes lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids. Cells that secrete these products, such as cells of the testes, ovaries, and skin oil glands, have an excess of smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -The precursors of vacuoles, the provacuoles, arise from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via maturation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The SER is generally used for the creation/ storage of lipids and steroids, while the RER plays a significant role in the synthesis of various proteins. The RER is termed “rough” due ribosomal attachments to the surface compared to the SER, which does not have ribosomes.
