Which organelles inside bacteria make green fluorescent protein?

Organelles inside bacteria do not 'make' GFP. GFP can however be expressed in bacteria by adding the coding sequence for GFP to their genome. This can be done by using a plasmid virus containing the GFP gene sequence. When combined with the plasmid, a very small number of bacteria will take up the plasmid's genome into their own. These bacteria can be isolated by using the 'transform or die' mechanism. Bacteria that do not contain the plasmid are preferentially killed by adding an antibody to the agar. The normal bacteria will not be resistant to this, and will die, but the bacteria which have taken up the plasmid into their genome will also contain an antibody resistance gene. This allows them to live in the presence of the antibody. Since GFP was also added to these bacteria's genome, they will fluoresce.

Which organelle is responsible for production of protein?
The organelles that is responsible for the production of proteins inside a cell is the ribosome. The ribosomes are protein builders and synthesizers.
Does lysosome have small organelles that make protein?
No the lysosome is an organelle inside a cell. The organelle which makes proteins is the ribosome which is separate to the lysosome.
What do organelles do inside the cytoplasm?
Organelles do their jobs in the cytoplasm.
Which organelles have less mitochondria?
Mitochondria are organelles and have no organelles of their own. They are inside a cell with other membrane bound organelles.
What is the generalized term for specialized structures found inside the cell?
The structures found inside the cell (such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vacuole) are all called ORGANELLES :)

What organelles are chloroplast found in?
Chloroplasts are organelles, they are not found inside other organelles, they are found inside cells.

How cells do bacteria have?
bacteria is a prokaryotic cell, which contains little to no organelles. It is just a mess of DNA inside of a capsule with flagellum (leg thingys)
What are most organelles found in the cell?
well, the various organelles are within the cell, surrounded by the gel like cytoplasm. There are protein structures called mircotubles and mircofilaments which at like the cell's skeletal structure
Are organelles elements?
No. Organelles are structures inside cells that perform a particular function.

fluorescent
What is the material inside the cells?
