Which ER is Bounded by Ribosomes
A
Round ER
B
Small ER
C
Rough ER
D
Smooth ER
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The rough ER, which is covered by ribosomes on its outer surface, functions in protein processing. The smooth ER is not associated with ribosomes and is involved in lipid, rather than protein, metabolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rough ER is named for its rough appearance, which is due to the ribosomes attached to its outer (cytoplasmic) surface. Rough ER lies immediately adjacent to the cell nucleus, and its membrane is continuous with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope.

Detailed explanation-3: -Smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and helps synthesize and concentrate various substances needed by the cell.
