Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Smooth ER is different than rough ER because smooth ER ____
A
lacks ribosomes
B
stories energy
C
is made of protein
D
transports organic compounds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between these two terminologies is that the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is known for stocking the lipids and proteins. It is not bounded by ribosomes. Whereas, the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is bounded by the ribosomes and also stores proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes have the function of protein synthesis. Since smooth ER is responsible for synthesis of fatty acids and phospholipids, therefore does not require ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.
