Synthesis of protein in the cell is called ___________.
-
centrosome
-
ribosome
-
chromosome
-
cellulose
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Ribosomes are the cellular sites where protein synthesis (translation) occurs - they read mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins. The question's wording is slightly confusing because ribosomes are organelles, not processes - the process is translation. Centrosomes (A) organize division, chromosomes (C) carry DNA, and cellulose (D) is a structural polysaccharide in cell walls.
