Responses

Rough ER contains ribosomes, and smooth ER transports proteins.

Rough ER transports proteins, and smooth ER contains ribosomes.

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

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

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 the synthesis of proteins due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER) is involved in the synthesis and transport of lipids and other materials not related to protein synthesis.
