Peptide synthesis inside a cell takes place in :
- Chromoplast
- Ribosomes
- Chloroplast
- Mitochondria
Answer
(2) Ribosomes
Solution
As per NCERT, ribosomes are the granular structures (composed of RNA and proteins) that are the sites of protein synthesis.
⇒ Peptide bonds between amino acids are formed on the ribosome during translation (the 23S rRNA in bacteria acts as the ribozyme).
∴ Peptide synthesis takes place in ribosomes.
