Question

what would most likely happen if the ribosomes in a cell stopped working? (1 point) the synthesis of enzymes and other proteins would stop. the rate of transport of glucose in the cytoplasm would increase. the cell would produce antibodies. the cell would undergo uncontrolled mitotic cell division.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are the sites of protein - synthesis in a cell. Enzymes are proteins and many other important cellular proteins are made in ribosomes. If ribosomes stop working, protein synthesis including that of enzymes will halt. Glucose transport is related to transport proteins and not directly to ribosomes. Antibody production is a function of specialized immune cells and requires active ribosomes for antibody - protein synthesis. Uncontrolled mitotic cell division is related to malfunction of cell - cycle control mechanisms, not directly to ribosome function.

Answer:

The synthesis of enzymes and other proteins would stop.
