Which organelle is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification in the cell?
easy Q2 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify the organelle function
The question asks which organelle synthesizes lipids and detoxifies harmful substances.Step 2: Recall ER types and functions
Smooth ER synthesizes lipids and detoxifies chemicals. Rough ER has ribosomes and synthesizes proteins. Mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes digest waste.Final Answer:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum → Option BQuick Check:
Lipid synthesis and detox = Smooth ER ✅
Quick Trick: Smooth ER lacks ribosomes, unlike Rough ER.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing Rough ER (protein synthesis) with Smooth ER.
