Answer:C. smooth ER

Explanation:the endoplasmic reticulum is a membrane bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of the cell.it has a highly folded appearance.

Its function in the cell is the transportation of cellular products.

There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum;the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

The rough endoplasmic reticulum have ribosomes attached to them ,giving them a granular appearance.the ribosomes synthesis proteins,which the rough endoplasmic reticulum transports outside or within the cell.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum do not have ribosomes attached to it.its functions is to synthesis lipids.

It is also involved in the production of steroid hormones in the adrenal cortex and endocrine glands

Answer: Option C.

Smooth endoplasmic recticulum.

Explanation:

Endoplasmic reticulum are membrane bound organelles found in eukaryotes. It is divided into Rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Smooth endoplasmic recticulum is a network of tubular membrane vesicles, or membrane bound organelle found in eukaryotes which function in synthesis of lipids, production of steroid hormones from adrenal cortex and metabolic processes. It detoxify harmful metabolic byproducts. Smooth endoplasmic recticulum lack ribosomes compare to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
