Protein Translation Inside Cells is Carried Out On

Question

Protein translation inside cells is carried out on
A)ribosomes
B)mitochondria
C)lysosomes
D)Golgi complexes
E)smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Accepted Answer

Protein translation (synthesis) inside cells takes place on ribosomes. Ribosomes can be free in the cytosol or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and both types can perform protein translation. Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration and ATP synthesis, lysosomes contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials, Golgi complexes are involved in protein modification and sorting, and smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid and steroid synthesis.
