To be as simple as possible they are in the shape of a sphere or a globe.
What else can I help you with?
Does the shape of ribosomes help it do its job?
To be as simple as possible they are in the shape of a sphere or a globe.
What nucleic acid is found in ribosomes?
to carry genetic material and maintain a 3 dementional shape
What are ribosomes shaped like?
Ribosomes are made of two subunits; one larger and one smaller. It is made up of proteins and has a globular shape. This is so that mRNA can pass through during translation.
What role does ribosome in protein synthesis?
Ribosomes are the only structure with definite size and shape in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the site at which amino acids are linked together to form proteins. They are the site of protein synthesis.
In ribosomes measurement what is the unit 'S'?
'S' stands for Svedberg units, which is a measure of the rate of sedimentation during centrifugation. In ribosomes' case, the 'S' unit indicates their sedimentation rate, which can provide information about their size and shape.
Why does the rough ER appear pebbled?
There are ribosomes on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum - these are ovular in shape and so make the surface appear 'rough'. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis - so this the rough ER is involved in the production of protein.
What do the ribosomes do for the cells?
Its so it gives the cell shape, the same as a bone in a body, it gives it form. Edited answer: Helps in protein synthesis
The sites of protein synthesis are?
Protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes, which can be found in the cytoplasm of a cell. In eukaryotic cells, proteins can also be synthesized on ribosomes located on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
What tiny organelles are attached to the ER?
ribosomes
What are unattached ribosomes in the cytosol called?
Free ribosomes.
What is the nucleic acid found in ribosome?
ribosomal RNA serves the site of protein synthesis in ribosomes
What are the differences between prokaryotic ribosomes and eukaryotic ribosomes?
Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller (70S) compared to eukaryotic ribosomes (80S). Prokaryotic ribosomes consist of a 30S and a 50S subunit, while eukaryotic ribosomes consist of a 40S and a 60S subunit. Prokaryotic ribosomes have fewer proteins compared to eukaryotic ribosomes.
