What is the name for cellular structures on which proteins are made?
Ribosomes.
What is a function of a ribosomes in cells?
The function of the ribosomes in cells is to make proteins. Ribosomes are made up of proteins and RNA.
What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulim?
a. The primary or the most important function of the endoplasmic reticulum is to transport the proteins, which are made by ribosomes, throughout the cell. b. A membrane network within the cytoplasm of cells involved in the synthesis, modification, and transport of cellular materials.
What function for Golgi bodies?
they package the proteins made by the ribosomes
What are the similarities between viruses and ribosomes?
Ribosomes are made up of cellular skeletal components viruses are essentially prokaryotic bacterium which had mutated during evolution
What cell parts are involved in protein synthesis and where are they made?
The cells involved include mitocytoniesec and projectonisec.
What function of free ribosomes?
Ribosomes are organelles within cells and are either bound or free. Organelles are structures inside the cells which perform specific functions. Bound ribosomes are attached to the organelle called the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough because of the presence of the ribosomes) and there is also the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, without attached ribosomes. Ribosomes are protein producing "factories" and are abundant in cells actively involved in protein synthesis. Free ribosomes are scattered throughout the cell and the protein they produce is for usage within the cell. Much of the protein produced by the bound ribosomes is transported for use outside the cell.
What do ribosomes help make for the cell?
Ribosomes are made up of RNA and proteins. RNA used is rRNA.
How does the function of free ribosomes differ from the function of ribosomes attached to other organelles?
Different proteins are produced on free-floating ribosomes than on ones attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In a general sense, proteins that will be used at the ER will be produced on attached ribosomes. Proteins that are meant for secretion will be made on free-floating ribosomes.
Where are ribosomes made in a cell?
Ribosomes are cell organelles that serve the function of creating proteins for the organism. They are made up of nucleic acids and special proteins. They are made inside the nucleolus.
Ribosomes arae mini what?
Ribosomes aren't mini anything, really. They are made up of rRNA, are not surrounded by a membrane and their function is to assemble polypeptides (make proteins).
What organelles are involved in the protein making process explain how they contribute?
In eukaryotic cells proteins are made by the ribosomes.
