Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The folded system of membranes just outside the nucleus that forms a network of interconnected compartments with many ribosomes attached is called the ____ This organelle helps to make proteins and transport proteins in the cell.

A	Smooth ER
B	Golgi apparatus
C	Rough ER
D	Mitochondrion

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large membrane-bound compartment spread throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is divided into three major morphologies that include the nuclear envelope (NE), peripheral ER cisternae, and an interconnected tubular network (Fig. 1A, B).

Detailed explanation-2: -The endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane system of folded sacs and interconnected channels that serves as a site for protein and lipid synthesis. The various folds of the endoplasmic reticulum provide a large surface where cellular functions can take place. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum: smooth and rough.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endomembrane system (endo = within) is a group of membranes and organelles in eukaryotic cells that work together to modify, package, and transport lipids and proteins. It includes the nuclear envelope, lysosomes, vesicles, endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, which we will cover shortly.
