Yes, in fact there are ribosomes in both plant and animal cells. That's right. Ribosomes are the site of synthesis of polypeptide chains; proteins are formed from polypeptide chains. Both animals and plants need proteins for many purposes, not least as enzymes. There are also ribosomes in prokaryotic cells, but these are smaller. The ribosomes in prokaryotes have a sedimentation rate of 70S (Svedberg units); eukaryotes have 80S ribosomes. They are the sites of protein synthesis, which makes them as important as other cell organelles.

What is the analog of rough er?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells involved in protein synthesis and processing. Its analog in a manufacturing plant would be the assembly line where raw materials are processed and transformed into finished products. Just as the rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface for protein synthesis, the assembly line may have specialized machinery or workers performing specific tasks in the production process.


What type of cell has nucleus?

both animal and plant cells have a nucleusboth animal and plant cells have a nucleusAnswer (improved)A nucleus can be found in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack nuclei. bacteria


What all is involved in the nucleus?

The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that houses the cell's genetic material (DNA). It is responsible for regulating gene expression, coordinating cellular activities, and controlling the cell's growth and reproduction. The nucleus also contains the nucleolus, which is involved in the production of ribosomes.


Does a animal cell have a cell membrane?

Yes, they both do. The cell membrane is their to allow different liquids in and out. The cell wall, however, is only found in the plant cell, to support and protect the cell. Since the animal cell does not have a cell wall, the cell membrane also serves as support and protection.


The interaction of which two systems provides the molecules needed for the metabolic activity that takes place at ribosomes?

The interaction of the endocrine system and the circulatory system provides the molecules needed for the metabolic activity that takes place at ribosomes. The endocrine system regulates the release of hormones that signal cells to produce specific molecules, and the circulatory system transports these molecules to the cells, including ribosomes, where they are used for metabolic processes.
