Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Protein production occurs on ribosomes, which are responsible for translating the genetic information from mRNA into a specific sequence of amino acids that makes up a protein. The rough ER and Golgi apparatus are involved in modifying and packaging the proteins for transport. The mitochondria are involved in energy production, not protein production. Microtubules are involved in protein transportation within the cell.
