A chemical substance that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves some metals, and turns litmus red; typically, a corrosive or sour-tasting liquid of this kind.

Explanation:

An acid is a material that can deliver a proton or hydrogen ion (H +). Hydrogen chloride in water suspension ionizes and converts to hydrogen ions and chloride ions. An acid is a particle or ion capable of giving a hydron (proton or hydrogen ion H+), or, alternatively, able of creating a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid). The first level of acids is the proton donors or Brønsted acids.

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: 1) free in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

  • Ribosomes are responsible for synthesising polypeptide chains by the process of translation from mRNA or messenger Ribonucleic Acid.
  • They are found free in the cytoplasm or remain bound to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) to form the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).
  • The cytoplasmic proteins are synthesised by the free ribosomes.
  • The membrane proteins, secretory proteins and the organelle specific proteins are synthesised by the Ribosomes located on the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
  • This is because these proteins need to be translocated to the target organs through vesicles that buds out of the ER and and the Golgi bodies.
  • As the luciferase polypeptide is located in the cytoplasm, it is synthesised by the free ribosomes present in the cytoplasm.
