Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation: Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using messenger RNA (mRNA) as a template.
Identify the cellular location: In eukaryotic cells, translation occurs in the cytoplasm where ribosomes are located.
Recognize the role of ribosomes: Ribosomes are the molecular machines responsible for reading mRNA sequences and assembling amino acids into polypeptide chains.
Differentiate between cellular organelles: The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, while the endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein folding and transport. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and is the site of transcription, not translation.
Conclude the specific site: Based on the understanding of translation and the role of ribosomes, the specific site of translation in a eukaryotic cell is the ribosome.
