Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Proteins are produced by these small, round (grain-shaped) organelles.
A
Chloroplasts
B
Lysosomes
C
Ribosomes
D
Vacuoles
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: -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-3: -Ribosomes are tiny spherical organelles that make proteins by joining amino acids together. Many ribosomes are found free in the cytosol, while others are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The purpose of the ribosome is to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) to proteins with the aid of tRNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -The proteins and nucleic acids that form the ribosome sub-units are made in the nucleolus and exported through nuclear pores into the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Contains DNA. Nucleolus makes ribosomes which are small grain-shaped organelles that make proteins.
