The correct statement is: **Rough ER contains ribosomes, and smooth ER transports materials other than proteins.**
Here's a brief explanation:
- **Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)** is studded with ribosomes on its cytoplasmic surface, which gives it a "rough" appearance. It is primarily involved in the synthesis of proteins.
- **Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)** lacks ribosomes and is involved in the synthesis of lipids, detoxification processes, and transport of materials that are not proteins.
Therefore, the correct choice aligns with these functions of rough and smooth ER.
