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: -ribosomes of a cell are known as protein factory of the cell because they are the site of active translation and are involved in protein synthesis. So, the correct option is D. ( Proteins will not be synthesized )

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Protein will not be formed’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without ribosome biogenesis, translation of mRNA into protein ceases and cellular growth stops.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Without ribosomes to produce proteins, cells simply wouldn’t be able to function properly. They would not be able to repair cellular damage, create hormones, maintain cellular structure, proceed with cell division or pass on genetic information via reproduction.
