Question

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of two distinct regions known as smooth ER and rough ER. Classify each statement about structure and function as characteristics of smooth ER, rough ER, or botha. It's surface that faces the cytoplasm lacks ribosomesb. it's surface that faces the cytoplasm is studded with ribosomesc. It is part of the endoembrane systemd. it functions in detoxification of drugse. a major function is the manufacture of proteinsd. a major function is lipid synthesis

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

B. Its surface that faces the cytoplasm is studded with ribosome.

C. It is part of the endomembrane system.

E. Major function is manufacture of proteins

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

A. Its surface that faces the cytoplasm lacks ribosome.

C. It is part of the endomembrane system.

D. Functions in the detoxification of drugs.

Major function is lipid synthesis

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of smooth endoplasmic reticulum that faces the cytoplasm lacks ribbon hence the name smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum facing the cytoplasm is studded with ribosomes hence the name rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Both are part of the endomembrane system

The smooth ER functions in the detoxification of drugs.

The rough ER due to the fact that it is students with ribosomes also functions in protein synthesis

The smooth ER coupled with the detoxification of drugs or excess alcohol also help in the synthesis of lipids.
