Question

Choose the site for protein production (translation) in the cell

• A. Endoplasmic reticulum
• B. Mitochondria
• C. Ribosomes
• D. Chloroplast

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Ribosomes

Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes. Genes carrying the information for synthesis of proteins are transcribed to mRNA, which is then decoded and used for synthesis of proteins in the protein manufacturing units of the cell, called ribosomes. Endoplasmic reticulum is the transport network inside a cell. Chloroplast is a plastid that is involved in photosynthesis and mitochondria is involved in energy production (ATP synthesis).
