in the ribosomes, where mRNA is being translated.

Protein synthesis primarily occurs within the ribosomes of a cell. The process involves translating the genetic code from messenger RNA (mRNA) into a sequence of amino acids that form a protein. This process is essential for cell growth, repair, and functioning.
Protein synthesis takes place at the ribosomes which may be free floating in the cytosol or studding the outside of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
ribosomes
Protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes, which are located in the cytoplasm of the cell. In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis can also take place in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The process involves translating the genetic information stored in mRNA into a specific sequence of amino acids to build a protein.
The majority of protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. This is where ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for synthesizing proteins, are located. Some proteins are also synthesized in other organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.
RNA is read off of the DNA located in every cell.
