Protein synthesis in an animal cell takes place:
Correct answer: B. In the cytoplasm as well as in the mitochondria
- A. Only in the cytoplasm
- B. In the cytoplasm as well as in the mitochondria
- C. In the nucleolus as well as in the cytoplasm
- D. Only on ribose attached to nucleus
Explanation
In the cytoplasm, ribosomes are present and mitochondria also have its own DNA and ribosomes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis so wherever ribosomes are present protein synthesis occurs.

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.
