A
Ribosome
B
Lysosome
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation, which is the synthesis of proteins from messenger RNA (mRNA) templates.
Recall that translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell where ribosomes are located.
Identify the organelle that directly facilitates the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains based on the mRNA sequence.
Recognize that ribosomes are the molecular machines responsible for reading mRNA and linking amino acids together to form proteins.
Eliminate other organelles: lysosomes are involved in degradation, Golgi apparatus in protein modification and sorting, and mitochondria in energy production, none of which directly perform translation.
