Question

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

Explanation:

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in a cell. So, in a cell that produces a lot of proteins, ribosomes would be more numerous. Vacuoles store water and are not related to protein - production. Lysosomes digest waste and have no direct role in protein synthesis. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis and are not involved in protein production in non - photosynthetic cells or in general protein - synthesis processes.

Answer:

Ribosomes, because they synthesize proteins
