Yes!

Ribosomes occur in the cytoplasm of all cells, prokaryotic ( the cells of bacteria) and eukaryotic (cells of animals, plants, and fungi). They occur in mitochondria and chloroplasts, too.

The ribosomes of prokaryotic cells are distinctly smaller than those in eukaryotes. Interestingly, the ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size to those of prokaryotes, and this is just one of the items of evidence that support the theory that these two organelles evolved from free-living prokaryotic ancestors.

Where in a bacterium are proteins synthesized?

In a bacterium, proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm. This is where the ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis, are located. The genetic information in the form of mRNA is read by the ribosomes to produce proteins.


Differences between bacteria and protists?

Bacteria are prokaryotic while protists are eukaryotic. Bacteria DNA is not contained within a nucleus, and it is circular, whereas in eukaryotes the DNA is found in compact chromosomes. Prokaryotes (like bacteria) also lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. Also, prokaryotic cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Protists are divided into three groups: protozoa (animal-like protists), algae (plant-like protists), and slime moulds (fungi-like protists). They do not fit into the kingdoms animalia, plantae, or fungi, but they are eukaryotic (like the members of those kingdoms).


Is the ribosome a plant structure or animal structure?

The ribosome is not specific to plants or animals; it is a universal cellular structure found in all living organisms. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in cells by translating mRNA into amino acids to build proteins.


What cells is the endoplasmic reticulum located in?

both plant and animal. Both plant and animal have smooth ER and Rough ER. The rough is studded with Ribosomes, giving it is textured or "rough" appearance


Are ribosomes found in animal or plant cells?

ribosomes are found in animal cellsThey are in every type of cells. They are needed to synthesis pf proteins

Is ribosomes a bacteria?

Ribosomes are not bacteria. They are microscopic structures containing proteins and strands of RNA. They are located within the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells.

Are protists more closely related to animals or to bacteria?

Protists are different from any other organisms found in the animal or bacteria kingdom. For this reason, they are seen as heterotrophic or autotrophic by biologists and botanists.


Where are ribosomes located in animal cell and plant cell?

Ribosomes can be found in both animal and plant cells. In animal cells, ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm and attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. In plant cells, ribosomes are also present in the cytoplasm and can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or within the chloroplasts and mitochondria.

One-celled animal-like protists are known as?

One-celled animal-like protists are known as protozoa. They are eukaryotic organisms that can move and obtain their food through various means, such as engulfing other organisms or absorbing nutrients from their surroundings. Examples include amoebas, paramecia, and flagellates.
