Cells can not make proteins without ribosomes. Neither can they make proteins without directions from a nucleus. Our red blood cells have neither and they only live for around 120 days before they wear out.

What would result if ribosomes in a cell stopped working?

Ribosomes are vital for the creation of proteins. Without proteins, the cell cannot function, and would die.


How protein synthesis occur in bacterial?

Proteins are created from RNA in the ribosomes.


What would happen to the cell membrane if ribosomes are not working?

There would be no protein synthesis.


What if all ribosomes in a cell disappeared?

It would die. Protein synthesis is essential to life.


What function would immediately cease if the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed?

Protein synthesis would immediately cease.


What would happen when ribosomes are absent?

the correct amino acids won't be transfered to the ribosomes and the protein synthesis would fail. PLATO says so.


If the ribosomes of a cell were destroyed what effect would this most likely have on the cell?

It wouldn't be protein synthesis.


What would be the most likely outcome if the ribosomes of a cell were damaged and stopped functioning?

The synthesis of enzymes would stop.


When a biochemist is studying the process of how a protein chain is assembled Which of the following cellular structures would be studied?

The ribosomes would be studied, because that is the site of protein synthesis.


What would happen to an animal cell if it didn't have ribosomes?

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.If they are absent it affects the protein synthesis,which indirectly effects health.Therefore victims suffer from malnutririon such as Marasmus,Kwashiorkor.


What would happen if the ribosomes were not functioning?

If the ribosomes were not functioning, protein synthesis would stop and the cell would die. The proteins that are produced in the cell control the cell's activities and without them, basic life functions would cease.


What organelles would you expect there to be a lot of if the cell made a lot of protein?

You would expect to see a large number of ribosomes (or rough ER) and mitochondria. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis, and mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration. In a cell actively creating a product, you would expect more mitochondria in order to meet the energy needs of the cell and rapid utilization of ameno acids for protein synthesis
