In general, ribosomes are larger than both aquaporin and hexokinase when comparing their sizes in a plant cell. Ribosomes typically have a size of around 20-30 nanometers in diameter, while aquaporins and hexokinases are usually smaller, often in the range of 5-10 nanometers. Therefore, among the options provided, the ribosome is the largest protein.
