Question

in which part of the cell do ribosomes perform protein synthesis? (1 point)
○ lysosome
○ cytoplasm
○ vacuole
○ nucleus

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Lysosome: Digests waste, not for protein synthesis.
• Cytoplasm: Ribosomes (free or on ER) in cytoplasm synthesize proteins.
• Vacuole: Stores substances, not involved in protein synthesis.
• Nucleus: Contains genetic material, not where ribosomes synthesize proteins.

Answer:

B. cytoplasm
