What is produced by the ribosomes?

Ribosomes are found floating throughout the cell's cytosol, which is the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, and many are also found attached to the membrane-like layer of the nuclear envelope called the endoplasmic reticulum. In prokaryotic cells, which do not possess a nucleus, ribosomes are produced within the cytoplasm. read more

Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. Ribosomes consist of two major components: the small ribosomal subunits, which read the RNA, and the large subunits, which join amino acids to form a polypeptide chain. read more

Ribosomes produce protiens by a process called translation. Thereare three types of DNA produced during this process: mRNA, rRNA,and tRNA. read more
