Question

question 10 (1 point)
which organelle produces ribosomes?
○ nucleus
○ endoplasmic reticulum
○ nucleolus
○ golgi body

Explanation:

To determine the organelle that produces ribosomes, we analyze each option:

• The nucleus is the control center of the cell but does not directly produce ribosomes.
• The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis and transport, not ribosome production.
• The nucleolus, a structure within the nucleus, is responsible for producing ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembling ribosomal subunits, thus producing ribosomes.
• The Golgi body modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids, not producing ribosomes.

Answer:

C. Nucleolus
