Peptide synthesis inside a cell takes place in :

  1. Chromoplast
  2. Ribosomes
  3. Chloroplast
  4. 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.

Answer: (2)
