Which of the following organelles contains receptors for the products of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
A)the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
B)the lysosomes
C)the mitochondria
D)the peroxisomes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) does not contain receptors for the products of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The lysosomes contain enzymes that help break down and digest cellular waste and debris, so they are not involved in the processing of products from the RER. The mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP, and the peroxisomes are involved in breaking down fatty acids and neutralizing harmful substances, so neither of these organelles are involved in the processing of RER products. Therefore, the best choice is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which contains receptors for the products of the RER.
