Solution

The correct option is A True

The ribosome is the structure within living cells that manufactures proteins. It attaches to a strand of messenger RNA and wriggles along it, reading the genetic code as it goes and translating the message into a lengthening chain of amino acids. Hence, it is called the protein factory of the cell.
