Small, grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made.
A
Vacuole
B
Flagellum
C
Ribosome
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Endoplasmic reticulum with attached ribosomes is called rough ER. It looks bumpy under a microscope. The attached ribosomes make proteins that will be used inside the cell and proteins made for export out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -ribosome – A small grain-like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made. 10. Golgi body – A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-4: -A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins are made at the ribosome. In the cytoplasm, ribosomes attach to messenger RNA (mRNA). They read the nucleotides in groups of three called codons. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid.
