Which of the following organelles has ribosomes embedded on its surface?
A
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Lysosome
C
Golgi Apparatus
D
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the function of ribosomes. Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis.
Next, identify the organelle associated with ribosomes. The Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) is characterized by the presence of ribosomes on its surface, giving it a 'rough' appearance.
Contrast the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum with the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum. The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification processes.
Consider the functions of other organelles listed: Lysosomes are involved in digestion and waste processing, while the Golgi Apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids.
Conclude that the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is the organelle with ribosomes embedded on its surface, distinguishing it from the other options provided.
