The correct answer is Ribosome.
The ribosome is an organelle found in all cells. It is the part of the cell involved in making the basic amino acid chain for proteins. It carries out this process by translating messenger RNA made in the nucleus.

The ribosome is found in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They can also be found on the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes is called Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).

The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound organelle found only in eukaryotic cells. Its main function involves transporting and packaging proteins.

The endoplasmic reticulum is a eukaryotic organelle found in the cytoplasm. It is involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of proteins.

The part of the cell that makes amino acids is A. The ribosome is known to be a molecular machine. It can be quite complex but it can do a lot of things that will make sure that the cells will continue to thrive. This can be found in all living cells in this world. This usually consists of different proteins and RNA.

The ribosomes can be found in the cytoplasm. They can also be found in the endoplasmic reticulum. The other choices are known to also be useful for their different purposes. It is best that all of these parts are working together in order to make the cells continue thriving.

Ribosomes
Ribosomes is the site for protein synthesis. Endoplasmic reticulum can MODIFY the protein. The Golgi apparatus transports the protein. The centriole is ONLY in animal cells and is for cell division.
