Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins. For example, rapidly growing cells usually have a large number of ribosomes (Figure 5).

Detailed explanation-2: -In bacteria, protein synthesis can be coupled to transcription, but in eukaryotes it is believed to occur solely in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes function as the site for protein synthesis. The mRNA molecules travel out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm and are translated into proteins in the cytoplasm.
