Question

6 if a cell has many more ribosomes than other cells what are expected to be true of the cells function?
a the cell would not be able to carry out cellular respiration.
b the cell would be able to make more protein if it has more ribosomes
c the cell would make too many sugars and not be able to carry out cellular respiration unless it get lots of sunlight.
d the cell would not have any genetic material, therefore it would not be able to carry out its function.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in a cell. If a cell has more ribosomes, it has a greater capacity for protein production. Cellular respiration is carried out by mitochondria (not directly affected by ribosome number). Making sugars is related to processes like photosynthesis (in plant cells, involving chloroplasts) or carbohydrate - related metabolic pathways (not directly tied to ribosome count). All cells (except some highly specialized ones like mature red blood cells in mammals) have genetic material.

Answer:

B. The cell would be able to make more protein if it has more ribosomes
