Which one of the following cell structures is involved in the synthesis of lipids?
Correct answer: A. Endoplasmic Reticulum
- A. Endoplasmic Reticulum
- B. Golgi Complex
- C. Centriole
- D. Mitochondria
Explanation
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for many metabolic processes including: synthesis of lipids, phospholipids as in plasma membranes, and steroids.The cell structure involved in the synthesis of lipids is the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). On the other hand, the Golgi body is responsible for modification and packing. The centriole is involved in the division process and helps in the formation of spindle fibres Mitochondrion is involved in the formation of ATP for energy expenditure processes.
