    • BLipid synthesis
    • CEnergy production
    • DWaste removal
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.

  2. Question 2

    Ribosomes are composed of?

    • ARNA and protein
    • BDNA and lipids
    • CCarbohydrates and lipids
    • DCellulose and protein
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Ribosomes contain ribosomal RNA and protein.

  3. Question 3

    Where can ribosomes be found in eukaryotic cells?

    • AFreely in cytoplasm and on rough endoplasmic reticulum
    • BOnly inside the nucleus
    • COnly inside mitochondria
    • DOnly on the cell membrane
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Ribosomes may float freely in the cytoplasm or attach to rough ER.

  4. Question 4

    How many subunits does a ribosome have?

    • ATwo
