Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER) is involved in protein synthesis and has ribosomes on its surface, while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER) is involved in the synthesis of lipids and metabolism of carbohydrates, and does not have ribosomes.
