Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
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: -Nucleolus is the site of ribosome synthesis. Note:Nucleolus is a special dense region in the eukaryotic cell. It is composed of RNA and protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is the function of the ribosome? Ribosomes are the organelles that help in protein synthesis. Protein is required for many cell activities such as damage repair and other chemical processes.
