Where are proteins synthesized inside the cell?

  1. a. Lysosomes

  2. b. Mitochondria

  3. c. Ribosomes

  4. d. Golgi Apparatus

The correct answer is: c. Ribosomes

Proteins are synthesized inside the cell at the ribosomes. The ribosomes are responsible for the production of proteins, which are essential for the functioning and structure of the cell. Option A Lysosomes are responsible for the digestion and recycling of cell waste, not protein synthesis. Option B: Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for producing energy, not proteins. Option D: The Golgi Apparatus is responsible for packaging and modifying proteins, not their initial synthesis. Therefore, C is the most accurate answer.
