The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "The smooth E.R. is generally made up of:", we will analyze the structure and components of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Smooth ER**: - The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is a type of endoplasmic reticulum that lacks ribosomes on its surface. This distinguishes it from rough ER, which has ribosomes. 2. **Structure of Smooth ER**: - The smooth ER is primarily composed of tubular structures. These tubules are interconnected and can sometimes branch out, forming a network. 3. **Components of Smooth ER**: - The smooth ER is not made up of cisternae (which are flattened membrane-bound sacs found in rough ER) or vesicles (small membrane-bound sacs that transport materials within the cell). 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is generally made up of tubules. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is "tubules".
