Ribosomes don't "make" proteins. Ribosomes exchange a string of tRNAs for a string of amino acids, which make up proteins. The string of proteins then either folds up on its own or other protein complexes like chaperonin help them fold if the will be free floating proteins or they will be sent to the endoplasmic reticulum to be folded into a membrane protein.

An individual ribosome can only make one kind of protein. This is why the cell contains several ribosomes which synthesis different types of proteins.

What organelle is responsible for producing protein?

ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in a cell. prokaryotes consists of 70s type of ribosome whereas eukaryotes consists of 80s type of ribosome.


Can 1 ribosome make only 1 type of protein?

In theory, yes. But there are usually several ribosomes that make one type of protein. They act like an assembly line making the protein one part at a time until it is finished and 'falls' off the line. There are usually orders for many more of the same right behind it.

How do genes control the way protein is made in a spiders body?

Genes are sections of DNA that control different traits. When the DNA is transcribed to mRNA, then translated by a ribosome, the ribosome is DIRECTLY synthesizing the protein from the mRNA. This means that the genetic code on the DNA directly corresponds to the type of protein that is being made!


What type of ribosome is found in ribosome?

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic


How is rna involved in making a protein?

The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is messenger RNA (mRNA). During Translation mRNA interacts with ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases producing amino acids. Transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time. Protein assembly continues until the ribosome encounters a "stop" codon


What type of RNA is involved in bringing the amino acids to the ribosomes?

A ribosome is a part of a cell that makes different kinds of protein, using amino acids and RNA. A focal point of biology is the fact that DNA is used to make RNA, which in turn is used to make proteins. The DNA sequence in a gene is copied into a mRNA (the 'm' stands for 'messenger'). A ribosome will then read the information in this RNA and use it to create various proteins. The process explained above is known as translation, as the ribosome 'translates' the genetic information given by the RNA into proteins. Ribosomes do this by attaching to an mRNA and using it as a template to make the correct sequence of acids for a particular protein. The amino acids are attached to tRNA molecules (the 't' stands for 'transfer'), which enter the ribosome and attach the acids to the sequence of mRNA. The attached amino acids are then joined together by another part of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA, 'reading' the sequence of amino acids, and then producing a chain.

Protein


Which type of cell does a ribosome belong to?

A ribosome is part of a cell. It is important in the manufacture of proteins.


What causes enzymes to be different from one another?

Enzymes are a type of protein and are thus formed by ribosomes - every protein exits the ribosome as a linear strand. It is this 'primary sequence' of amino acids that is different in each protein and empowers each enzyme with its own unique function.
