mRNA functions as a messenger from the original DNA helix in the 'nucleus' (transcription), and is then transported to the 'cytoplasm' where the information in the mRNA is translated (translation) into a sequence of amino acids making up a polypeptide.

What cell organelle is where synthesis of protein occurs?

Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes, which are either free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes read the mRNA and link amino acids together to form a polypeptide chain.


What cellular organelle synthesis protein?

Ribosomes


This organelle's function is protein synthesis?

The organelle responsible for protein synthesis is the ribosome. Ribosomes are found in both the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum, where they read mRNA and assemble amino acids into protein chains.


Is the nucleus the organelle that is the center for protein synthesis?

No. protein synthesis occurs in the ribosome. The ribosome receives the mRNA from the nucleus (code for amino acids) which directs the assembly of the chain of amino acids, but the nucleus is not directly responsible for the creation of the protein. Also, the ribosome isa separate organelle, even if it is attached to the nucleus while assembling the protein chain.


Organelle site within cell where protein synthesis occurs?

Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes, which can be found in the cytoplasm of the cell or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are responsible for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins through the process of translation.


The ribosome is a organelle that functions in the process of?

The ribosome is a cellular organelle that functions in protein synthesis, building proteins based on instructions from messenger RNA molecules. It serves as the site for translation of genetic information from RNA into proteins.

On what organelle in the cell does protein synthesis occur?

Protein synthesis takes place in the ribosomes and also in the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).


Does lysosome have small organelles that make protein?

No, lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris. They do not have the machinery for protein synthesis. Protein synthesis occurs mainly in the ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus of a cell.


The organelle responsible for protein synthesis is called?

The organelle responsible for protein synthesis is the ribosome. It reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) and assembles amino acids into proteins according to the genetic code.


What organelle sevres as a protein factory?

Ribosomes act as the protein factories.They provide the surface for the synthesis.
