Which of the Following Serves as the Site for the Synthesis

Question

Which of the following serves as the site for the synthesis of phospholipids?
A)Plasma membrane
B)Rough endoplasmic reticulum
C)Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
D)Golgi apparatus

Accepted Answer

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) serves as the site for the synthesis of phospholipids. This is because the SER contains enzymes involved in lipid synthesis, including phospholipids, and lacks ribosomes that would interfere with lipid synthesis. The plasma membrane, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are involved in the processing and transportation of lipids, but not in their synthesis.
