**Question:**

A certain eukaryotic cell type specializes in synthesizing **lipids**. Which organelle would be found in greater abundance in this cell type than in other cell types that don't synthesize lipids?

**Options:**

- ○ Mitochondria
- ○ Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- ○ Rough endoplasmic reticulum
- ○ Lysosomes

**Explanation:**

When a eukaryotic cell is specialized in synthesizing lipids, it typically has an increased abundance of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for lipid synthesis and metabolism, making it more prevalent in cells that focus on these processes compared to other cell types.
