proteins are synthesised on which sub-cellular structure?
Proteins are synthesised on ribosomes , the sub-cellular structures that act as the cell’s “protein factories.”
Ribosomes can be:
- Free in the cytoplasm, making proteins that stay in the cell.
- Attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum, making proteins for secretion or for membranes.
In many exam-style biology questions, if you see
“Proteins are synthesised on which sub-cellular structure?”
the expected one-word answer is: ribosomes.
TL;DR: Proteins are synthesised on ribosomes.
