In the investigation of the case a patient with defective proteins, the organelle that is most likely the cause would be the ribosome.

It cannot be any of lysosome, cell membrane, or the cytoplasm because:

  • Lysosome functions as the digestive system of the cell. It digests and degrades dead cell components with the aid of certain enzymes.
  • Cell membrane delimits the cell and act as a channel for the passage of materials in and out of the cell.
  • The cytoplasm represents the entirety of the liquid content of the cell include the organelles it contains.

The ribosome is the organelle where protein synthesis takes place. Hence, a defect in the protein synthesized will most likely be caused by the ribosome itself.
