Question

which organelle would you expect to be more numerous in a cell that produces a lot of proteins, and why? chloroplasts, because they perform photosynthesis lysosomes, because they digest waste vacuoles, because they store water ribosomes, because they synthesize proteins

Explanation:

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. A cell that produces a lot of proteins would need more ribosomes to meet the high - demand for protein production. Chloroplasts are for photosynthesis, lysosomes for waste digestion, and vacuoles for water storage, none of which are directly related to protein synthesis.

Answer:

D. Ribosomes, because they synthesize proteins
