Detailed explanation-1: -The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -The major function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the detoxification of the body from drugs consumed and metabolic wastes produced. The major function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is protein synthesis and their folding into proper quaternary structures.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the option that best describes the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is given by answer choice (A). The smooth ER synthesizes, stores, and transports lipids and carbohydrates within the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement best describes the role of rough endoplasmic reticulum in the cell? It aids in the production of membrane and secretory proteins.
