What is the main idea for ribosome and how it's use?

the ribosome makes proteins from amino acid


How do you make an edible ribosome?

A ribosome is a minute round particle composed of RNA and protein that is found in the cytoplasm of living cells and serves as the site of assembly for polypeptides encoded by messenger RNA. everything you usually eat are composed by ribosomes in it's essence (except of course a macdonald's hamburger although it's edibility it's not proven to contain any kind of DNA, RNA or proteins )


What items are used during RNA translation?

During RNA translation, items such as ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, messenger RNA (mRNA), amino acids, and various protein factors are used. The ribosome acts as the machinery for translation, tRNA molecules bring specific amino acids to the ribosome, mRNA provides the template for protein synthesis, and protein factors help in the initiation, elongation, and termination of translation.


Are ribosomes a combination of DNA and protein?

Yes, ribosomes are composed of special proteins and nucleic acids. Each complete ribosome is constructed from two sub-units.A eukaryotic ribosome is composed of nucleic acids and about 80 proteins and has a molecular mass of about 4,200,000 Da.


What is 70s ribosomes?

70S refers to the rate of sedimentation of the ribosome in a centrifuge. You can almost think of it as a unit of size. The "S" is a unit of measurement called the Svedberg unit. Ribosomes contain two subunits. In prokaryotes, these subunits are 50S (large) and 30S (small). The total ribosome with both subunits is 70S in prokaryotes. (Notice that 30 + 50 = 80 and not 70. Remember this is not size and the rate of sedimentation is less when the subunits are bound then when they are separated.) Eukaryotic cells have 80S ribosomes: 60S (large) and 40S (small) subunits.
