Q: In a plant cell, ribosome is the site of :
  • A. lipid synthesis
  • B. protein synthesis
  • C. carbohydrate synthesis
  • D. chlorophyll synthesis
Correct Answer: Option B - In a plant cell, Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis. Ribosome consisting of RNA and associated proteins that function to synthesize proteins. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Ribosomes were first observed in the mid 1950s by Romanian-American cell biologist George Emile Palade, using an electron microscope, as dense particles or granules.
