Which structure makes new membranes for the cell?
A) Rough endoplasmic reticulum
B) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
C) Golgi apparatus
D) Mitochondria

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is responsible for making new membranes for the cell. The SER synthesizes lipids and phospholipids which are the major components of cell membranes. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is involved in protein synthesis and folding, while the Golgi apparatus modifies and sorts proteins and lipids before they are transported to their final destination. Mitochondria are responsible for generating energy for the cell through cellular respiration.
