Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organelle produces proteins?
A
Vacuole
B
Ribosomes
C
Chloroplasts
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum (E.R.)
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: -Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. Composed of two subunits, they can be found floating freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleolus is a spherical structure found in the cell’s nucleus whose primary function is to produce and assemble the cell’s ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nearly all the proteins required by cells are synthesised by ribosomes. Ribosomes are found ‘free’ in the cell cytoplasm and also attached to rough endoplasmic reticulum.
