How cell produces protein?

Cells make proteins at ribosomes.

DNA in the nucleus is copied by the cell in the form of RNA strands. These RNA strands leave the nucleus and enter the cytosol, where they encounter ribosomes. The ribosome runs along the RNA strand, reading the sequence of nucleotide bases in the strand. Each sequence of three bases (e.g. AGC or CCG) in the RNA encodes a particular amino acid molecule. As the ribosome reads the RNA sequence, it builds a string of different amino acid molecules according to the sequence it reads from the RNA molecule. When the ribosome stops reading the RNA, it releases it's newly built string of amino acids, which folds up, becoming a protein.

The amino acids themselves are made by the cells from ammonium and nitrate that the organism has consumed or absorbed from the environment.
