How are ribosomes created in bacteria?

The (prokaryotic) bacterial ribosome whose main function is to serve (as the site of mRNA translation and) protein synthesis. The ribosome has a mass of about 2.5 MDa, with RNA accounting for 2/3 of the mass. read more

In bacterial cells, ribosomes are synthesized/made in the cytoplasm (The cytoplasm in prokaryotic cells is a gel-like, yet fluid, substance in which all of the other cellular components are suspended) through the transcription of multiple ribosome gene operons. read more

In bacterial cells, ribosomes are synthesized in the cytoplasm through the transcription of multiple ribosome gene operons. In eukaryotes, the process takes place both in the cell cytoplasm and in the nucleolus, which is a region within the cell nucleus. read more

Ribosomes from all organisms share a highly conserved catalytic center. However, the ribosomes of eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi, and many unicellular organisms with a nucleus) are much larger than prokaryotic (bacterial and archaeal) ribosomes and subject to more complex regulation and biogenesis pathways. read more
