Question

Ribosomes are site of

• A. Lipid synthesis
• B. Storage of food products
• C. Nutrient synthesis
• D. Protein synthesis

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Protein synthesis

Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are called as 'membrane-bound' and are responsible for the assembly of many proteins. This process is called as translation. Certain cells of the pancreas and digestive tract produce a high volume of protein as enzymes. Many of the proteins are produced in quantity in the cells of the pancreas and the digestive tract and function as digestive enzymes.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Protein synthesis'.
