Which organelle’s function is to synthesize or make proteins?
A
ribosome
B
mitochondria
C
nucleolous
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleolus is a spherical structure found in the cell’s nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell’s ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleolus, present within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, is responsible for the synthesis of ribosomes. Hence, it is called the site for the formation of ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence.
