Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I am the cell’s transport system. There are two types of me, rough and smooth. The rough type has ribosomes attached. I am the ____
A
Ribosomes
B
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
C
Nucleus
D
Golgi Apparatus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most basic difference between RER and SER is the presence of ribosomes. When ribosomes attach to the surface of an ER, it gives a characteristic rough appearance; hence it is called Rough ER. On the other hand, a smooth ER does not have ribosomes on its surface. It possesses ribosomes attached to its membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a structure found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Its composition has two components: the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

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: -Yeast cell is an eukaryotic cell which is made up of cell organelles. Therefore, all yeast cell possess endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes and mitochondria.
