The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Endoplasmic reticulum functions as cytoskeleton or intracellular and ultrastuctural skeletal framework by providing mechanical support to colloidal cytoplasmic matrix.

Cell: The Unit of Life

  • A cell is derived as the functional and structural unit of life. Every cell is surrounded by a cell membrane that dissects the external and internal environments of the cell. The interior environment of a cell is called the cytoplasm.
  • It carries cellular machinery and structural elements. The nucleus is present in the center of the cell, which includes all the hereditary information of an organism. Some of the molecules present in the cell are protein, carbohydrates, starch, and sugar.
