Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They can be found free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the nucleus contains DNA, the nucleolus is involved in the production of ribosomes, and the eukaryotic chromosome contains DNA encoding genes, but protein synthesis does not occur directly on the chromosome.
