What bio molecules are in a ribosomes?

Ribosomes translate mRNA to proteins. In eukaryotic cells, the ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) produce proteins that are either to become part of organelles (such as lysosomes), the plasma membrane, or secreted from the cell. The free, or soluble, ribosomes found in the cytosol produce proteins that remain in the cytosol, e.g., the enzymes involved in glycolysis.


What cell assembles proteins?

All the proteins in the cells are made in ribosomes. After polypeptide synthesis they got matured and folded in ER, and Golgi bodies. There is no specific cells that only assembles proteins. All the cells of our body does it.


What substances let things go into and out of the cell?

Proteins made on "bound" (attached) ribosomes leave through the cell membrane, and other proteins will enter the cell.


What functions as a factory to produce proteins for the cell?

There are actually 2 different organelles that do those jobs. The ribosomes make proteins out of amino acids, and the Golgi complex packages those proteins and ships them where they need to go.


Where are proteins produced within cells?

Proteins are produced in the cytoplasm, in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, in mitochondria, and in chloroplasts. Proteins consist of one or more polypeptide chains. Polypeptides are synthesized by ribosomes as they travel along strands of messenger RNA. This synthesis begins at free (unattached) ribosomes in the cytoplasm, but as it proceeds some ribosomes are moved to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and embedded in its membrane. Whether a ribosome is moved depends on the sequence of amino acids in the first part of the polypeptide chain to be translated. The polypeptides that are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum complete their coiling and folding (secondary and tertiary structure) within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, where some of them will also combine with other chains to form more complex proteins (quaternary structure). Proteins synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum are destined for certain sites, e.g. the endoplasmic reticulum itself, lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or for secretion from the cell. Those that are leaving the endoplasmic reticulum pass through the Golgi body, where they may be further processed, e.g. with the addition of oligosaccharide components. Proteins whose synthesis is completed in the cytoplasm at free ribosomes go to other destinations, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The mitochondria and chloroplasts, which are thought to be descendants of ancient free-living prokaryotic cells, have some genes of their own and synthesize some proteins using their own transcription and translation machinery, including their own (prokaryote-like) ribosomes.

What do the ribosomes do at school?

Ribosomes are tiny organelles in a cell that make proteins from amino acids. They do not go to school.


When proteins are assembled which organelle does it go to?

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Hopefully this helps!

What is the difference between proteins made on free ribosomes and proteins made on ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum?

All proteins start out being translated on free ribosomes. Some proteins have a signal peptide sequences that will stop them from being translated on a free ribosome and send them to the ER. The ER recognizes this sequence and allows the protein to complete translation on an ER ribosome. Proteins translated on the ER, generally, are destined for the cell surface, Lysosomes, Golgi, or remain residents of the ER. Proteins that are terminally translated on free ribosomes, generally, go to the mitochondria, the nucleus, peroxisomes, or remain in the cytoplasm.


What arre endoplasmic reticulum?

The nucleolus makes ribosomes. Ribosomes make chemicals called proteins. The proteins go into the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is like a conveyor belt. As the proteins move along the endoplasmic reticulum, they are changed a little bit. Then, when the proteins get to the end, they are sent away in a little sac.


What is the pathway of proteins after they have been made in the ribosomes?

Proteins are then folded, sometimes in chaperonins to prevent misfolding, and then transported using the endoplasmic reticulum to where it should go. Specifically, the protein is inside a vesicle that transports it to the golgi apparatus before off to its final destination.

What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in the mammalian cell?

Rough endoplasmic reticulum is studded with ribosomes, which make proteins. It makes proteins that are destined to leave the cell to go elsewhere, for example, proteins in a mothers breast mild.


What is the relationship between ribosomes and RNA in protein synthesis?

The synthesis of proteins takes two steps: transcription and translation. Transcription takes the information encoded in DNA and encodes it into mRNA, which heads out of the cell’s nucleus and into the cytoplasm. During translation, the mRNA works with a ribosome and tRNA to synthesize proteins.
