What are the ribosomes made of?

Ribosomes consist of two major components: the small ribosomal subunit, which reads the RNA, and the large subunit, which joins amino acids to form a polypeptide chain. Each subunit is composed of one or more ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules and a variety of ribosomal proteins. read more

Ribosomes are composed primarily of ribonucleic acid and proteins. They are responsible for the translation of genetic data from amino acids into simpler proteins for use in cell functions. Ribosomes have two main subunits responsible for utilizing genetic information expressed by specific cell functions. read more

A ribosome is made from complexes of RNAs and proteins and is therefore a ribonucleoprotein. Each ribosome is divided into two subunits: 1; a smaller subunit which binds to a larger subunit and the mRNA pattern, and 2; a larger subunit which binds to the tRNA, the amino acids, and the smaller subunit. read more

Ribosomes are made of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and proteins. They are diferent in prokariotes, eukaryotes or mitochondria and are responsible for the protein synthesis process (translation). read more
