The protein synthesis process called translation requires
A)a nucleus
B)a nucleolus

D)ribosomes
E)proteasomes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ribosomes are the organelles that facilitate the translation process in protein synthesis. They can be found in both the cytoplasm and on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The nucleus and nucleolus are involved in DNA replication and the production of RNA, but they are not directly involved in the translation process. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism, but not in protein synthesis. Proteasomes are responsible for breaking down proteins, not synthesizing them.
