Question

Which organelle is incorrectly matched with its function? Group of answer choices Peroxisome: break down hydrogen peroxide Smooth ER: protein synthesis Vacuole: water and nutrient storage Chloroplast: energy creation

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Smooth ER: protein synthesis

Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum is a single membrane-bound organelle containing interconnected membrane-bound cisternae which are the extension of the nuclear membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum is divided into two parts smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not contain ribosomes on it and is involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones and lipids, detoxification of harmful products and removal of xenobiotic from the cell, calcium storage, and metabolism.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface which helps in protein synthesis on RER. So Smooth ER and protein synthesis are incorrectly matched.
