The organelle responsible for the synthesis of proteins in a cell is the Ribosome.
The organelle responsible for protein synthesis in a cell is the ribosome. To arrive at the answer, you could have eliminated the options one by one by understanding the function of each organelle.
- The mitochondrion is involved in generating energy for the cell, not protein synthesis.
- The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and shipping proteins, rather than their synthesis.
- The nucleus is the control center of the cell, containing the genetic material, but it does not directly synthesize proteins.
Therefore, the correct answer is ribosome, as it is the site where proteins are assembled.
