Question

The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a cell structure that consists of folded membranes that contain ribosomes. What is the advantage of the folded membranes?
A) decreases surface area in order to produce more Proteins
B) increases surface area in order to produce more proteins
C) increases volume of endoplasmic reticulum in order to produce more energy
D) decreases volume of the endoplasmic reticulum in order to make more energy

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The folds contain ribosomes attached to the membrane. The more the folds the more the surface area to which more ribosomes can attach. The ribosomes are organelles responsible for the manufacture of protein in cells. Thereafter, the proteins are properly folded by the mediation of chaperones in the lumen of the RER.
