Which of the following organelle have a continuous connection with nuclear membrane?
Correct answer: C. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
- A. Golgi Apparatus
- B. Lysosomes
- C. Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)
- D. Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)
Explanation
The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is the correct answer because it is directly connected to the nuclear membrane. This connection facilitates the direct transport of proteins synthesized by the ribosomes on the RER into the lumen of the RER for further processing and modification. In contrast, the Golgi apparatus is involved in processing and packaging but is not connected to the nucleus. Lysosomes are organelles that digest cellular waste and are not linked to the nuclear membrane. The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification and does not have a direct connection to the nucleus.
