_ is involved in lipid synthesis/metabolism.
Correct answer: A. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- A. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- C. Mitochondria
- D. Vacuoles
Explanation
'Smooth ER' is involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism. 'Rough ER' is involved in protein synthesis. The main job of 'mitochondria' is to perform cellular respiration. This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks them down, and turns them into energy.'Vacuoles', on the other hand, are organelles that exist mainly to isolate potentially harmful waste materials. They do their task effectively by simply engulfing the waste material.
