Function of RER is
autolysis
protein synthesis
lipid synthesis
carbohydrate synthesis
Correct Answer :
B. protein synthesis
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is found throughout the cell but its density is higher near the nucleus and the Golgi apparatus. Ribosomes present on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are called 'membrane bound' and are responsible for the assembly of many proteins (in a process called translation (a step in protein synthesis).
