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: -Microsomes derived from rough ER are studded with ribosomes and are called rough microsomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rough ER, studded with millions of membrane bound ribosomes, is involved with the production, folding, quality control and despatch of some proteins. Smooth ER is largely associated with lipid (fat) manufacture and metabolism and steroid production hormone production. It also has a detoxification function.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -The rough ER is studded with ribosomes. As proteins are synthesized, they are threaded into the lumen of the rough ER. Some of these proteins have carbohydrates attached to them in the ER to form glycoproteins.
