All the cells contain the same ratio of rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me in my homework.The above asked question is from Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems topic in chapter Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems of Cell Biology

Answer»

The correct answer is (B) False

The explanation: RIBOSOMES are associated with the cytosolic space of rough endoplasmic RETICULUM hence they are more actively involved in PROTEIN synthesis. In cells that secrete large amount of proteins e.g. the cells of kidneys and salivary glands, more number of RER are present. Hence the ratios of SER and RER vary depending on the cell TYPE.
