Question

This organelle manufactures sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone).

Answer 1

The organelle responsible for manufacturing sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone is the **smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)**. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones, including sex hormones. In specific cells, such as those in the testes and ovaries, the SER plays a crucial role in the production of these hormones.
