Nissl bodies are mainly composed of
Nucleic acids and SER
DNA and RNA
Proteins and lipids
Free ribosomes and RER
To solve this problem, we need to identify the main components of Nissl bodies.Nissl bodies are found in the cell bodies of neurons and are important for protein synthesis.Nissl bodies are composed of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and free ribosomes.The RER is involved in the synthesis of proteins that are either secreted from the cell or incorporated into the cell's plasma membrane.Free ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins that function within the cytosol.Therefore, the correct answer is that Nissl bodies are mainly composed of free ribosomes and RER.This corresponds to Option 4.
