Which of the following best describes the function of the ribosomes in eukaryotic cells?(1 point) Responses makes lipids and steroids that will be used in the production of membranes and hormones makes lipids and steroids that will be used in the production of membranes and hormones decodes the sequence of bases on the mRNA and then creates specific proteins decodes the sequence of bases on the mRNA and then creates specific proteins energy-producing structure of the cell and location of cellular respiration energy-producing structure of the cell and location of cellular respiration modifies proteins that require specific attachments of sugars or lipids and packages proteins for export

The best description of the function of ribosomes in eukaryotic cells is: **decodes the sequence of bases on the mRNA and then creates specific proteins.**

Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis, translating the information encoded in mRNA into proteins.

Consider the function of the mitochondria. In what type of cells would you expect a high concentration of mitochondria?(1 point) Responses skin cells skin cells blood cells blood cells nerve cells nerve cells heart cells

You would expect a high concentration of mitochondria in **heart cells**. Heart cells (cardiomyocytes) require a significant amount of energy to support their constant activity and contraction, thus they have a high number of mitochondria to produce ATP efficiently.
