Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Rough ER contains ribosomes, and smooth ER transports materials other than proteins.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER) is involved in protein synthesis and has ribosomes attached to its surface, while Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER) is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes, and does not have ribosomes.
