   Much of the intracellular structure of a eukaryote cell is involved in protein synthesis. The figure shows the amounts of protein in cells at different parts of the cell cycle between two cell divisions. G₁ is a stage just after the cell has divided, and Gā‚‚ is the stage just before the cell divides again. S is a stage when the cell is synthesizing material such as DNA, mitochondria, and other organelles. -Most of the protein measured in the cells was likely synthesized by A) mitochondria. B) nucleolus. C) smooth endoplasmic reticulum. D) ribosomes. Much of the intracellular structure of a eukaryote cell is involved in protein synthesis.

After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow. The skin is the body's largest organ. It's made up of many different types of cells. Oils, produced by the sebaceous glands, prevent the skin from drying and splitting. The protein melanin, produced by melanocytes in the epidermis, protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Sweat, released through ducts to the skin surface, helps to cool the body. The types of cells that produce these compounds have different numbers of specific organelles, depending on their function. -The oil from the sebaceous glands is produced by which of the following cell organelles?


A) ribosomes
B) rough endoplasmic reticulum
C) cell membrane
D) smooth endoplasmic reticulum
