Question

Immature bone cells, or osteoblasts, manufacture a protein called osteoid as well as several hormones. Because of this, we would expect osteoblasts to contain numerous A) nuclei. B) ribosomes. C) lysosomes. D) Golgi bodies.

Answer 1

The answer would be B. as ribosomes are in charge of translating mRNA to polypeptides and thus proteins. (In this case osteoid and various hormones)

Answer 2

ribosomes

Step-by-step explanation:

• Ribosomes are the structures present within the cell that are responsible for the protein synthesis to take place.
• These structures provide the catalytic site for the rRNA to direct protein synthesis.
• Since it is given that the osteoblasts are responsible for manufacturing many proteins and hormones, these osteoblasts must be rich in ribosomes as they are involved in the process of protein synthesis.
