Question

Bacterial ribosomes are present

• A. In the cytoplasm
• B. On the cell wall
  
• C. On the nuclear membrane
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A In the cytoplasm

Bacteria is prokaryotic in nature which lacks a well-developed nucleus. The nuclear membrane is absent and the genetic material lies directly in the cytoplasm. Membrane-bound organelles are also absent.

Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in a bacterial cell which lies freely in the cytoplasm. 70S ribosomes are present in the bacterial cell which has 30S smaller subunit and 50S larger subunit.

So, the correct answer is option A.
