Answer:

D. Cytoskeleton

Explanation:

It is really none of these answers. The correct answer would be a microtubule which is a component of the cytoskeleton which is in the cytoplasm.

The Cell Walls are only in plant cells so that won't work. So, A wouldn't work.

Chromosomes are the things that both your parents give you as genes. They have nothing to do with keeping the structure of the cell alright.

Cytoplasm cannot be a answer choice because, the thing is in it but, it doesn't do anything with it. So C wouldn't work either

The correct answer is microtubule however, it is a component of cytoskeleton so therefore, that is your answer.

Based on their function, you would expect melanocytes in the skin to have a higher than usual number of ribosomes.

Ribosomes are cell structures that functions as the site of biological protein synthesis. Ribosomes are present in all living cells where they produce proteins required for many cellular functions. Ribosomes join amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA molecules. Ribosomes are made up of two parts which are; the large subunits (which connect amino acids to create a polypeptide chain) and the small ribosomal subunits (which read the RNA).
