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.

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.
