Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a function of the endoplasmic reticulum? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is. It is a cell structure involved in protein and lipid synthesis.
  • Step 2: Know the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum. It helps in making proteins, processing them, and producing lipids.
  • Step 3: Identify the process mentioned in the question: photosynthesis. This is the process by which plants make their food using sunlight.
  • Step 4: Recognize that photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, not in the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since photosynthesis is not a function of the endoplasmic reticulum, it is the correct answer to the question.
