CELL ORGANELLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle serves as an internal transport system, and can be either “rough” or “smooth”?
A
Nucleus
B
Mitochondria
C
Cell Wall
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is responsible for packing proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum into membrane-bound vesicles (tiny compartments of lipid bilayer that store molecules) which then translocate to the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Proteins and other molecules move through the endoplasmic reticulum. The outer surface of the endoplasmic reticulum can be smooth or rough. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes on its outer surface and makes proteins the cell needs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ER has been shown to be closely apposed to almost all membrane-bound organelles, including the PM, mitochondria, lipid droplets, Golgi, endosomes, and peroxisomes (Fig.
