The outer membrane of the nuclear envelope is at places continuous with the _.
Correct answer: B. Endoplasmic Reticulum
- A. Golgi apparatus
- B. Endoplasmic Reticulum
- C. Lysosomes
- D. Peroxisomes
Explanation
The correct answer is B) Endoplasmic Reticulum. The outer membrane of the nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), allowing for the transport and communication between the nucleus and the ER. This continuity is crucial for the synthesis of proteins and lipids. The other options, such as the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and peroxisomes, are distinct organelles with separate functions and do not share this direct structural connection with the nuclear envelope.
