Which of the following organelles assembles proteins? ribosomes Golgi apparatus nuclear envelope or endoplasmic reticulum
Artist 52 [7]

The right answer is Ribosomes

The ribosome is a complex composed of RNA and ribosomal proteins, associated with a membrane (in the granular endoplasmic reticulum) or free in the cytoplasm. Common to all cells (prokaryotes and eukaryotes), the ribosome (and especially its composition) varies according to the organisms, even if it is always composed of two distinct subunits.

The ribosome is a huge ribonucleoprotein complex that allows the translation of mRNAs into proteins.
