Which of the following statements with respect to the endoplasmic reticulum is incorrect?
  1. SER is devoid of ribosomes
  2. In prokaryotes only RER are present
  3. SER are the sites for lipid synthesis
  4. RER has ribosomes attached to ER

Endoplasmic reticulum is an example of membranous organelles, so, it will always be found in eukaryotic cells only and never in the prokaryotes.

This is true for SER and RER both.
