In which of the following regions of the cell can protein synthesis occur in eukaryotes?

(Select all that apply.)

1) lysosomes

2) Golgi apparatus

3) nucleus

4) rough endoplasmic reticulum

5) cytoplasm

Solution

Answer : The correct answer is 4 ( Rough endoplasmic reticulum). Rough endoplasmic reticulum contains receptors called ribophorins for the binding of ribosomes to carry out protein synthesis.The major function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is the biosynthesis of proteins facilitated by extensive surface area for the association of protein synthesis machinery.
