Question

Which organelle is known as the protein factory of the cell?

Answer 1

Ribosomes:

1. The tiny, oval-shaped organelles found within the cell of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are ribosomes.
2. They are either found attached to the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum or are found in free-state.
3. They are considered the protein factory of the cell, as they produce the proteins by assembling and gathering amino acids into the protein chains.
4. The process via which ribosomes generated proteins is known as translation.
