Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of cholesterol in eukaryotic cells?
A
Mitochondria
B
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
C
Golgi Apparatus
D
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of each organelle listed in the options: Mitochondria, Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum, Golgi Apparatus, and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
Recall that the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including cholesterol, and detoxification processes.
Recognize that the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is primarily associated with protein synthesis due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface.
Identify that the Golgi Apparatus is mainly responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or use within the cell.
Conclude that the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum is the organelle primarily involved in the synthesis of cholesterol in eukaryotic cells.
