Transcript text: Question 65
This organelle assists in the production of proteins?
Solution
The organelle that assists in the production of proteins is the ribosome.
Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. They read the mRNA (messenger RNA) sequences and translate them into polypeptide chains, which then fold into functional proteins. Ribosomes can be found floating freely within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, forming what is known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).
Summary:
The organelle that assists in the production of proteins is the ribosome.
