Verified by Toppr
The correct option is B Lipids Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes on its surface. Smooth ER performs various functions in the cell. It synthesizes lipids. It metabolizes carbohydrates. It synthesizes steroids like hormones and vitamins. It performs the function of detoxification. It breakdowns harmful substances into simpler and safe substances.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
