Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If many of the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed, what effect would this most likely have on the cell?
A
The cell would not be able to create energy.
B
The cell would not be able to make proteins.
C
The cell would not e able to photosynthesize.
D
The cell would not be able to break down waste in the cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Protein will not be formed’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Without ribosome biogenesis, translation of mRNA into protein ceases and cellular growth stops.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which situation would most likely occur if all the ribosomes in a cell were destroyed? The cell would no longer synthesize chains of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence. Ribosomes use cellular accessory proteins, soluble transfer RNAs, and metabolic energy to accomplish the initiation, elongation, and termination of peptide synthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -What would be the most likely outcome if the ribosomes of a cell were damaged and stopped functioning? The cell would lose structure and shape. Cell growth and repair would slow or stop.
