Where do the lipids and proteins constituting the cell membrane get synthesised?
Answer:
The cell membrane is made of lipids and proteins .
- These lipids and proteins are synthesised (made) in the endoplasmic reticulum .
- Ribosomes are responsible for synthesising proteins in cells.
- So, the rough endoplasmic reticulum makes the proteins while the smooth endoplasmic reticulum makes the lipids .
