Solution : The correct option is George E. Palade.
George E. Palade, a Romanian-American cell biologist, first revealed the significance of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in protein processing and sorting in the 1960s.
Protein synthesis occurs within the ribosome-studded rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). These ribosomes help translate genetic information into protein sequences. Newly synthesised proteins enter the ER lumen, where they undergo proper folding.
