Which of the following organelles is the place of protein synthesis?
A
Golgi
B
Vesicle
C
Nucleus
D
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each organelle listed in the options: Golgi apparatus, vesicle, nucleus, and endoplasmic reticulum.
Recall that the primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
Recognize that vesicles are small membrane-bound sacs that transport substances within or outside the cell, but they are not directly involved in protein synthesis.
Remember that the nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing DNA and responsible for regulating gene expression, but it does not synthesize proteins.
Identify the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as the organelle where protein synthesis occurs, specifically on the ribosomes attached to the rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes and involved in the synthesis of proteins destined for secretion or for use in the cell membrane.
