Which structure is directly responsible for the formation of proteins within the cell?
A
lysosomes
B
vacuoles
C
centrioles
D
ribosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryote ribosomes are produced and assembled in the nucleolus. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with the four rRNA strands to create the two ribosomal subunits (one small and one large) that will make up the completed ribosome (see Figure 1).

Detailed explanation-2: -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.
