Question #1
Which of the following is the primary function of the Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER)?
A. ATP production
B. Lipid synthesis and detoxification
C. Protein modification
D. Protein synthesis

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes on its surface and is primarily involved in the synthesis of lipids, including sterols and phospholipids. In liver cells, SER also plays a crucial role in the detoxification of poisons and drugs. Rough ER, which has ribosomes, is responsible for protein synthesis.

Question #2
The molecule that is the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain is:
A. Oxygen
B. NAD⁺
C. FAD
D. Cytochrome c

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Molecular oxygen (O₂) accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, combining with protons to form water (metabolic water). Without oxygen, the chain backs up, stopping ATP production. This is why oxygen is vital for aerobic respiration. NAD⁺ and FAD are electron carriers, cytochrome c a component.
