function as factories to produce proteins.
A
Endoplasmic Reticulum
B
Flagellum
C
Ribosomes
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are cell organelles that function in the synthesis of proteins. They are present on the surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum. They produce proteins from amino acids by a process called protein synthesis. Therefore, ribosomes are called protein factories as they synthesize proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Ribosomes are small circular organelles found in the cell. They have two subparts-60S and 40S. In simple words, their function is protein synthesis. They act like factories for the cell as they produce specific amino acids as per instructions given to them by mRNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes synthesize proteins by gathering and assembling amino acids into protein chains. Since ribosomes are the only cell organelle involved in the synthesis of protein, they are called the protein factory of the cell.
