Protein Synthesis

Question 8 • First Semester Biology

Where are proteins made in the cell?

Answer
A
nucleus
B
ribosomes
C
cytoplasm
D
cell membrane

Explanation

Proteins are made at ribosomes, which assemble amino acids according to instructions copied from DNA. Ribosomes may be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, but the ribosome is the site of protein synthesis. The nucleus stores DNA, and the cell membrane forms the cell’s boundary.
