A major site for synthesis of lipids is
RER
SER
symplast

B.
SER
The Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is the major site for synthesis of lipids. RER is actively involved in protein synthesis and secretion. Nucleoplasm is the site for active ribosomal RNA synthesis. Symplast is the system of interconnected protoplast through, which water movement occurs.
Mitochondria and choloroplast are :
I. semi-autonomous organelles.
II. formed by division of pre-existing organelles and they contain DNA but lack protein synthesizing machinery.
II is true but I is false
I is true but II is false
