Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

We build proteins in the cell. We can be found in several places in the cell, including in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum. We are ____

A	Ribosomes.
B	Nucleus
C	Mitochondria
D	Lysosome

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are assembled at organelles called ribosomes. When proteins are destined to be part of the cell membrane or exported from the cell, the ribosomes assembling them attach to the endoplasmic reticulum, giving it a rough appearance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins can be translocated into the ER either during their synthesis on membrane-bound ribosomes (cotranslational translocation) or after their translation has been completed on free ribosomes in the cytosol (posttranslational translocation).

Detailed explanation-4: -Which organelle is the main site of protein synthesis? The ribosomes, found within the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytoplasm, are the main site of protein synthesis.
