Ribosomes are the most numerous organelles in a cell. They are responsible for protein synthesis and can be found in large numbers in both the cytoplasm and on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Ribosomes are numerous inside the cells of the mouth because the mouth is involved in a lot of protein synthesis to replace and repair the cells that are constantly being exposed to mechanical stress, enzymes, and other factors. Ribosomes are responsible for the production of proteins, and the high turnover rate of cells in the mouth necessitates a large number of ribosomes to meet the demand for protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.
Ribosomes are the primary site for protein production
The ribosomes are the site where proteins are synthesized.
