If our school was a cell what at our school would be the ribosomes?

Ribosomes do their work hence Ladies of the School Kitchen because they build proteins.


What analogy would ribosomes be in a school?

Ribosomes could be compared to school cafeterias, as they both serve as sites where essential components are assembled (proteins in ribosomes, meals in cafeterias) to support the functioning of the school (cell in ribosomes, students in cafeterias). Just as cafeterias produce food, ribosomes produce proteins that are essential for the cell's growth and function.


How is a ribosomes in a cell related to school?

no


What do the ribosomes do at school?

Ribosomes at school would be responsible for protein synthesis, just like in a cell. They would read mRNA instructions to assemble amino acids into proteins needed by the school for various functions like structure, communication, and energy production.


What are school analogy for ribosome?

Ribosomes in a cell can be compared to classrooms in a school. Just as classrooms assemble to form different subjects, ribosomes assemble to synthesize proteins. Additionally, like how classrooms are responsible for educating students, ribosomes are responsible for producing proteins that carry out various functions in the cell.


What is an analogy to ribosomes in a school?

Ribosomes in a cell can be compared to teachers in a school, as they both play a crucial role in producing necessary materials - proteins in cells and knowledge in students. Just as ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins, teachers guide students in assembling knowledge and skills.


If a school were a cell what would the teachers be?

They would be called Ribosomes, all over the place


How are ribosomes related to a school?

Ribosomes in a cell can be compared to a school's cafeteria, where proteins (students) are made using instructions from the genetic material (teachers). Just as the cafeteria is the place where students are fed, ribosomes are the site in the cell where proteins are synthesized. Both ribosomes and cafeterias play a critical role in providing necessary resources for growth and function.


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 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.
