What distinguishes the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (Smooth E.R.) from the rough endoplasmic reticulum?

• The smooth E.R. has ribosomes on it.

• The smooth E.R. breaks down food to produce energy.

• The smooth E.R. surrounds the nucleus.

• The smooth E.R. does not have ribosomes.

What is the function of the chloroplast in plant cells?

• It breaks down food to produce energy in the form of ATP.

• It changes sunlight into sugar for plant cells and contains a green pigment called chlorophyll.

• It stores food and water.

• It helps make protein for the cell.
