Which organelle is the site where amino acids are synthesized into proteins?
A
Lysosome
B
Ribosome
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of each organelle listed in the options: Lysosome, Ribosome, Golgi apparatus, and Mitochondrion.
Understand that the process of synthesizing proteins from amino acids is known as translation, which is a key part of protein synthesis.
Recall that ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein synthesis. They read the mRNA sequence and translate it into a polypeptide chain by linking amino acids together.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in breaking down waste materials and cellular debris, not in protein synthesis.
Note that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins for secretion, while mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, generating ATP through cellular respiration.
