The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER):** - The rough endoplasmic reticulum is a type of endoplasmic reticulum that is studded with ribosomes on its cytoplasmic surface, giving it a "rough" appearance. This structure is crucial for its function in protein synthesis. 2. **Identifying the Binding Mechanism:** - The question asks why the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum has the ability to bind ribosomes. The key to this lies in specific proteins present in the membrane. 3. **Role of Riboflurin:** - The correct answer is that the rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosome receptor proteins, specifically a type known as Riboflurin. These proteins facilitate the binding of the ribosomal 60S subunit to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. 4. **Exclusion of Other Options:** - The other options provided (glycolipids and glycoproteins) do not play a direct role in the binding of ribosomes to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. - Glycolipids are important for cell membrane structure and signaling but do not bind ribosomes. - Glycoproteins are proteins with carbohydrate chains but are not specifically responsible for ribosome binding. 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the rough endoplasmic reticulum can bind ribosomes due to the presence of ribosome receptor proteins, such as Riboflurin. **Final Answer:** The membrane of rough endoplasmic reticulum has the power to bind ribosomes because it contains Riboflurin. ---
