Expert Solution

Introduction:

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum or SER is an integral part of the cell and takes part in many important cell functions. It is primarily responsible for manufacturing macromolecules other than proteins.

Correct Choices:

Following are the correct options:

a. helps eliminate drugs and chemicals from the body - SER produces many enzymes that help in detoxifying some lipid-soluble drugs as well as other harmful chemicals in the cell.

c. Reduces cysteine to form disulfide bonds - One of the important enzymes in SER (and some other locations) is the Protein disulfide isomerase or PDI in short. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of free SH groups in cysteine and forms disulfide / S-S bonds.
