Which one of the following organelles in the figure correctly matches with its function?
Correct answer: B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum, protein synthesis
- A. Golgi apparatus, formation of glycolipids
- B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum, protein synthesis
- C. Rough endoplasmic reticulum, formation of glycoproteins
- D. Golgi apparatus, protein synthesis
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Rough endoplasmic reticulum, protein synthesis. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is clearly depicted in the figure, characterized by its ribosome-studded surface, which is crucial for protein synthesis. The RER plays a significant role in synthesizing proteins intended for secretion or for use within the cell.
