Question

Which statement best compares the roles of organelles in making proteins?A. Vesicles modify proteins, while the Golgi bodies manufactures proteins.B. Rough ER transports proteins, while the cell membrane modifies proteins.C. Chromosomes modify proteins, while the nuclear membrane produces proteins.D. Ribosomes produce proteins, while the nucleus contains protein blueprints.

Answer 1

BIOLOGY > CELL BIOLOGY > PARTS OF THE CELL

EXPLANATION:

The organelles are small structures inside the cells with specific functions to maintain the living conditions of the cell. The nucleus controls the metabolic processes happening in the cell and contains the DNA. To produce proteins, the DNA is transcribed into pre-mRNA. The pre-mRNA is spliced to mRNA. The mRNA is transported to the ribosomes attached and situated near the rough ER for translation. The ribosomes are organelles responsible for translating the mRNA into proteins.

ANSWER: D.

**The other options A - C contains half truth and half false information.
