Site of protein synthesis is:
Correct answer: A. Ribosomes
- A. Ribosomes
- B. Lysosomes
- C. Golgi body
- D. Cisternae
Explanation
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in the cell, where they translate genetic information from mRNA to synthesize polypeptide chains. Lysosomes are involved in digestion within the cell, the Golgi body processes and packages proteins and lipids, and cisternae are structural components of the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, not directly responsible for protein synthesis.
