Question

Which cellular organelle is the site of synthesis of amino acid-based hormones? Which cellular organelle is the site of synthesis of steroid hormones? Which cellular organelle is the site of synthesis of amino acid-based hormones? Which cellular organelle is the site of synthesis of steroid hormones? The Golgi apparatus; the mitochondrion The nucleus; the chromosome The ribosome; smooth endoplasmic reticulum The smooth endoplasmic reticulum; the Golgi apparatus

Answer 1

smooth endoplasmic reticulum >>>steroid hormones

ribosome>>> amino acid based hormone

Answer 2

The correct answer would be The ribosome; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Ribosomes are the site of protein or polypeptide chain synthesis. They with the help of mRNA and tRNA synthesize polypeptide chains. Thus, amino acid-based hormones would also synthesize at ribosomal sites.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) is a type of endoplasmic reticulum that lacks ribosomes. It forms a major site for synthesis and storage of lipids such as phospholipid, cholesterol et cetera. In cells of the adrenal gland, SER plays an important function in the synthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterol.
