A
respiration
B
photosynthesis
C
protein synthesis
D
fat synthesis.
Answer
protein synthesis
Explanation
Solution
Ribosomes are the centre for protein synthesis. Free ribosomes synthesize structural proteins, proteins normally found in microbodies, chloroplast and mitochondria and proteins destained to remain in cytosol such as enzymes of glycolysis or proteins of cytoskeleton. On the other hand, ribosomes attached on ER synthesize proteins for transport, integral or intrinsic proteins of membrane and proteins of certain organelles like golgi complex, lysosomes and plant vacuoles.
