Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins are synthesized in ribosomes, which can be found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The synthesis begins with the transcription of DNA into mRNA in the nucleus (in eukaryotic cells), but the actual protein synthesis takes place in the ribosomes. RNA assists in the process, but it is not the site of protein synthesis itself. While mitochondria do play a role in energy production, they are not the site of protein synthesis.
