Protein synthesis in an animal cell occurs
Options
- Aonly on the ribosomes present in cytosol
- Bon ribosomes present in cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria
- Conly on ribosomes attached to the nuclear envelope and endoplasmic reticulum
- Don ribosomes present in the nucleolus as well as in cytoplasm
Correct answer
B. on ribosomes present in cytoplasm as well as in mitochondria
Step-by-step solution
Protein synthesis takes place on ribosomes. In an eukaryotic cell ribosomes are present in cytoplasm, mitochondria and chloroplasts. So, in these places protein synthesis take place.
