A scientist treats a cell with a chemical that destroys the ribosomes. As a result, which cell process will be stopped?
A
Osmosis
B
Protein Synthesis
C
Photosynthesis
D
Cellular Respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are important because they produce proteins and proteins are vital for all living organisms. Since ribosomes are connected to the production of proteins, this process would stop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Updated On: 27-06-2022. (a) If ribosomes are removed from the cell, there will be no protein synthesis. The cell will thus lose the capacity to perform further due to lack of metabolic products. The cell will eventually die.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
