Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle makes proteins?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplast
C
Ribosome
D
Lysosome
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: -Within the ribosome, the rRNA molecules direct the catalytic steps of protein synthesis-the stitching together of amino acids to make a protein molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleolus: an organelle formed by the act of building a ribosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Membrane-bound ribosomes, attached to the cytosolic side of the ER membrane, are engaged in the synthesis of proteins that are being concurrently translocated into the ER. Free ribosomes, unattached to any membrane, synthesize all other proteins encoded by the nuclear genome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes are specialized cell organelles and are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Every living cell requires ribosomes for the production of proteins.
