Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptRER is frequently observed in the cells actively involved in protein synthesis and secretion. They are extensive and continuous with the outer membrane of the nucleus.
Assertion (A): Different organelles in eukaryotic cells perform specialized functions. Reason (R): The rough endoplasmic reticulum principally performs the function of packaging materials while Golgi apparatus is involved in protein synthesis and secretion.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — If assertion is true but reason is false.
The Assertion is true - NCERT describes organellar specialization. However, NCERT states “The golgi apparatus principally performs the function of packaging materials. RER is frequently observed in the cells actively involved in protein synthesis and secretion.” The Reason swaps these functions, making it false. This tests understanding of organellar functional specialization.
