What organelle makes the most protein?
ribosomes
Because proteins synthesis is an essential function of all cells, ribosomes are found in practically every cell. Ribosomes are particularly abundant in cells that synthesize large amounts of protein.
What is the main site of protein synthesis?
Ribosomes
Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place.
What organelles are involved in protein production?
Ribosomes, large complexes of protein and ribonucleic acid (RNA), are the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis. They receive their “orders” for protein synthesis from the nucleus where the DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA).
What organelle makes membrane proteins?
The ER
The ER has a central role in lipid and protein biosynthesis. Its membrane is the site of production of all the transmembrane proteins and lipids for most of the cell’s organelles, including the ER itself, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endosomes, secretory vesicles, and the plasma membrane.
Which membranous organelle is the site of protein synthesis for proteins that are secreted by the cell?

|---|---|
| A major function of the cell membrane is to | Control what enters and leaves the cell. |
| Which of the following is not a cytoskeleton element? | Centriole |
| This membranous organelle is the site of protein synthesis for proteins that are secreted by the cell. | Rough ER |
What is the site of production of ribosomes?
Eukaryote ribosomes are produced and assembled in the nucleolus. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with the four rRNA strands to create the two ribosomal subunits (one small and one large) that will make up the completed ribosome (see Figure 1).
Which organelle makes the proteins that are needed by the cell?
Ribosome: a cellular organelle that is responsible for making proteins. RNA : an acid found in all living things that carries messages from DNA to the rest of the cell to be made into protein.
What are organelles that make proteins called?
Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum. Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein translation and are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.
What is organelle receives and modifies proteins?
The Golgi apparatus is the name of the organelle that modifies, packages, and sorts proteins and lipids in eukaryotic cells.
What organelle synthesizes protein in a cell?
A: The organelle that synthesizes proteins is the ribosome. Ribosomes are essential to all cells, and they can either be found floating free in the cells’ fluids or in eukaryotes embedded in a structure known as the endoplasmic reticulum.
