Protein synthesis — practice question

Animal cells, plant cells and prokaryotic cells show both similarities and differences in structure. Table 1.1 shows five organelles present in cells.
(a)[4]

Finish Table 1.1 by adding a tick (✓) to show that the organelle is present in animal cells, plant cells and prokaryotic cells, or a cross (✗) to show that it is absent. Put a tick (✓) or a cross (✗) in every box. The first row has already been done for you.

(b(i))[1]

Name the structures marked P.

(b(ii))[2]

Explain the way in which the organelle labelled Q in Fig. 1.1 is involved in this process.
