Protein factory in prokaryotic cell is:
Correct answer: D. Ribosomes
- A. Endoplasmic reticulum
- B. Nucleolus
- C. Nucleus
- D. Ribosomes
Explanation
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles. They do not synthesize proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. The protein factory in prokaryotic cells are ribosomes found in the cytosol.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
