\nThe correct option is A.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a major site for lipid synthesis in eukaryotic cells.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes various lipids, including phospholipids, steroids, and oils. It is also involved in the detoxification of drugs and poisons, and the storage of calcium ions. Golgi bodies are involved in protein and lipid modification and packaging. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes for intracellular digestion. Mitochondria are primarily involved in energy production through cellular respiration.
