The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks where ribophorin is located. Ribophorin is a protein that is associated with certain cellular structures. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - a) Rough endoplasmic reticulum - b) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum - c) Golgi body - d) None 3. **Defining Ribophorin**: Ribophorin is a protein that is known to be associated with ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis. 4. **Analyzing the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER)**: The rough endoplasmic reticulum is characterized by the presence of ribosomes on its cytoplasmic surface. This gives it a "rough" appearance under a microscope. 5. **Connection Between Ribophorin and RER**: Ribophorin is specifically found on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It plays a role in the attachment of ribosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum. 6. **Excluding Other Options**: - The smooth endoplasmic reticulum does not have ribosomes on its surface, hence ribophorin would not be present there. - The Golgi body is involved in processing and packaging proteins but does not have ribophorin on its surface. - The option "none" is also incorrect as ribophorin is indeed present on a specific structure. 7. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that ribophorin occurs on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. ### Final Answer: Ribophorin occurs on the surface of the **rough endoplasmic reticulum**. ---
