Question

use the diagram above to answer the next question. if structure 12 does not function properly, which of the following processes will be affected? select one: a. the assembly of ribosomes b. the production of cholesterol c. the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid d. the break down of alcohol

Explanation:

Structure 12 appears to be the nucleolus. The nucleolus is the site of ribosome assembly. If it doesn't function properly, ribosome assembly will be affected. Cholesterol production occurs in the endoplasmic - reticulum, DNA synthesis occurs in the nucleus (but not specifically in the nucleolus), and alcohol breakdown occurs mainly in the liver cells with the help of enzymes like alcohol dehydrogenase.

Answer:

a. the assembly of ribosomes
