Question

question 4 1 pts ribosomes are very small nonmembranous organelles that can either exist freely in the cytoplasm or be embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum of a cell; they are associated with the synthesis of nucleic acids. lipids. proteins. carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are the sites of protein - synthesis in the cell. They translate the genetic information from mRNA into proteins. Nucleic acids are synthesized in processes like DNA replication and transcription which are not directly associated with ribosomes. Lipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (for most types) and not by ribosomes. Carbohydrates are not synthesized by ribosomes either.

Answer:

proteins.
