Best Answer

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), which is covered in ribosomes, is found in abundance in hepatocytes and is responsible for protein synthesis.

The reason hepatocytes are rich in RER is because they produce a large amount of proteins, including clotting factors and plasma proteins.

What is the function of ribosome in the animal cell?

The important ribosome function includes: It assembles amino acid to form proteins that are essential to carry out cellular functions. The DNA produces mRNA by the process of DNA transcription. The mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and transported to the cytoplasm for the process of protein synthesis. The ribosomal subunits in the cytoplasm are bound around mRNA polymers. The tRNA then synthesizes proteins.


A cell that contains large numbers of ribosomes would produce a large number of what biomolecule?

protein Ribosomal function is to produce proteins.They provide surface for protein synthesis


A cell that requires a lot of energy might contain large numbers of what organelle?

It would have many mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria) because these are the organelles of a cell that produce ATP, which is what we call energy. They are sometimes nicknamed "the powerhouse of the cell."


What is a mitochondira?

provides energy for the cell think if you are at a school then you think of this as a PE TeacherThe mitochondrion (mitochondria is plural) is an organelle within the eukaryotic cell. It is the part that undergoes aerobic cellular respiration, creating usable energy for the cell.


What receives proteins and materials from the er packages them and distributes them?

The Golgi apparatus is present in larger numbers and is most highly developed in cells that secrete protein, .such as the cells of the salivary glands or the pancreas (in animal cells).

What has ribosomes attached to it and it synthesizes proteins?

In translation, messenger RNA and transfer RNA and ribosomes work together to produce proteins. Ribosomes are very tiny particles that are present in large numbers in all living cells and serve as the site of protein synthesis.

What is Digital audio recording?

Digital audio recording is taking a sound and turning it into a string of numbers then rebuilding the vibration from those same numbers. The numbers are generated by direct measurement of the audio signal. Digital synthesis is where numbers are constructed or generated by multiple calculation that are based on the user input. the numbers are treated like a graph of sorts of the output waveform. The output signal is generated from this graph.
