Best Answer

All cells need ribosomes because that is where protein synthesis takes place. Proteins are required for enzymatic activity, cellular structures and functioning, metabolic activity, and are essential for life to occur. Even viruses, which are not considered living but organic molecules, are composed of proteins.


Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins. This RNA is synthesized and ribosome assembly takes place in the nucleolus of the nucleus in eukaryotes.
Yes, all healthy animal cells contain ribosomes.

Do all cells need nucleolus?

Not all cells need a nucleolus. For example, bacterial cells do not have a nucleolus. A nucleolus is a dense body within the nucleus which is where ribosomes are formed. As viral cells do not create ribosomes, they do not need a nucleolus either...


Do cells need ribosomes?

All living cells have ribosomes. The ribosomes are the " workbench " upon which proteins are synthesized. The ribosome has catabolic RNA to aid in this task and without ribosomes I can not see proteins being made, so ribosomes are vital to all living cells.
