Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The process of protein synthesis occurs in ribosomes. Ribosomes are either floating freely in the cytoplasm or found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes, large complexes of protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ribosome that is synthesizing the protein is directly attached to the ER membrane. These membrane-bound ribosomes coat the surface of the ER, creating regions termed rough endoplasmic reticulum, or rough ER (Figure 12-36A).
