Which organelle is responsible for making ribosomes?

• Mitochondria

• Nucleolus

• Golgi Apparatus

• Lysosomes

Answer explanation

The nucleolus is the organelle responsible for producing ribosomes. It synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and assembles it with proteins to form ribosomal subunits, which are essential for protein synthesis.
