Question:
What are the functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)?
Answer:
- Helps in transporting materials from one part to other inside cell.
- Acts as skeletal framework and provides mechanical strength to cytoplasmic matrix.
- Provides larger surface area for synthesis of various metabolic activities.
- It contains various enzymes which act as catalyst in synthesis of lipids and proteins.
- SER is also involved in the process of detoxification of drugs and poison.
