BPhotosynthesis
CCellular respiration
DDNA replication
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Protein synthesis
Ribosomes assemble proteins from amino acids based on instructions from messenger RNA.
They are tiny (~20-30 nm) particles found either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER).
Cells making lots of protein (digestive glands, immune cells) have many ribosomes.
