Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the ER do
A
While the function of the nucleus is to act as the cell brain, the ER functions as a manufacturing and packaging system
B
receives proteins and lipids (fats) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rough endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes on its outer surface and makes proteins the cell needs. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes other substances that the cell needs, such as lipids (fats) and carbohydrates (sugars). The endoplasmic reticulum is a cell organelle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus is surrounded by a system of two concentric membranes, called the inner and outer nuclear membranes. The outer nuclear membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum, so the space between the inner and outer nuclear membranes is directly connected with the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.
