Select the correct matching in the following pairs. (a) Rough ER – Synthesis of glycogen (b) Rough ER – Oxidation of fatty acids (c) Smooth ER – Oxidation of phospholipids (d) Smooth ER – Synthesis of lipids
Option D is correct answer. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a system of smooth membranes (i.e., membranes not having ribosomes) within the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells. It forms a link between the cell and nuclear membranes. It is the site of important metabolic reactions, including phospholipid and fatty acid synthesis. In animal cells lipidlike steroidal hormones are also synthesized.
