Which of the following is responsible for the mechanical support, protein synthesis and enzyme transport?
Options
- ACell membrane
- BMitochondria
- CDictyosome
- DEndoplasmic reticulum
Correct answer
D. Endoplasmic reticulum
Step-by-step solution
Endoplasmic reticulum functions as cytoskeleton or intracellular and ultrastructural skeletal framework by providing mechanical support to colloidal cytoplasmic matrix. Proteins and enzymes synthesized by ribosomes enter the channels of rough endoplasmic reticulum both for intracellular use as well as extracellular transport.
