Question

Which of the 2 locations are known as sites of protein synthesis in the eukaryotic cells, that are known to employ the eukaryotic type of ribosomes?

Option 1: Nucleus and Golgi Apparatus
Option 2: Endoplasmic Reticulum and Lysosomes
Option 3: Nucleus and Mitochondria
Option 4: Endoplasmic Reticulum and Cytoplasm

Answer 1

The endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm are known locations in eukaryotic cells that employ eukaryotic ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, two locations that are known to employ the eukaryotic type of ribosomes for protein synthesis are the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytoplasm. Free ribosomes in the cytoplasm synthesize water-soluble proteins, while membrane-bound ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum make proteins for insertion into the cell membrane or proteins destined for export from the cell.
