Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (Rough ER) is studded with ribosomes on its cytoplasmic surface, which is why it's involved in synthesizing proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth ER) does not have ribosomes and is involved in the synthesis of lipids and the metabolism of carbohydrates, as well as the transport of various materials in the cell.
