Which type of organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of oils, phospholipids, and steroids?
|
|
ribosome
|
|
|
lysosome
|
|
|
smooth endoplasmic reticulum
|
|
|
mitochondrion
|
|
|
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: -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-3: -Smooth E R (SER) is associated with the production and metabolism of fats and steroid hormones.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are essential sites for steroid hormone biosynthesis.
