Question
what is the main function of ribosomes in a plant cell?
to make proteins
to contain the information that the cell uses for growth and activities
to use energy from sunlight to make sugar
to make lipids
Brief Explanations
- Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis (translation) in cells, including plant cells.
- The option "to contain the information that the cell uses for growth and activities" describes DNA (in the nucleus), not ribosomes.
- "To use energy from sunlight to make sugar" is the function of chloroplasts (photosynthesis), not ribosomes.
- "To make lipids" is the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, not ribosomes. So the correct option is the one stating ribosomes make proteins.
