What are the ribosomes characteristics?

Proteins are necessary for the cells to perform cellular functions. Ribosomes are the cellular component that make proteins from all amino acids. Ribosomes are made from complexes of RNAs and proteins. The number of ribosomes in a cell depends on the activity of the cell. read more

Characteristics of ribosomes: Typically ribosomes are composed of two subunits: a large s ubunit and a small subunit. The subunits of the ribosome are synthesized by the nucleolus. read more

Ribosomes are organelles used by the cell to produce proteins (protein synthesis). Ribosomes are either floating in the cytoplasm or attached to membranes. In general, free-floating ribosomes produce proteins that are used inside the cell, and membrane-attached ribosomes manufacture proteins for use outside the cell. read more

The ribosome is a complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that make proteins from amino acids together in the process called protein synthesis or translation. Protein synthesis is the major task performed by living cells. Ribosomes are special as they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes cells. read more
