Question:

Which one of the following organelle in the figure correctly matches with its function?

Both C and D

Rough endoplasmic reticulum - Formation of carbohydrates

Golgi apparatus - Formation of lipids

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - Lipid synthesis

Rough endoplasmic recticulum - Protein synthesis

Solution:

When ribosomes are present in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum it is called the rough endoplasmic reticulum. RER is abundantly found in the cells that actively synthesize proteins. The synthesis of lipids takes place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
