rRNA is a massive molecule consisting of two parts; a small section, and a large section. It is between these two sections that the mRNA fits, and into the large selection that the tRNA complexes (with attached amino acids) are taken. rRNA molecules have two main binding sites. When a tRNA molecule is bound, the mRNA molecule moves along one space, and another tRNA molecule binds. When this happens, the amino acids at the ends of the tRNA molecules are very close together, and a peptide bond forms. The mRNA then moves along again and the first tRNA molecule breaks away. This is translation

What are unattached ribosomes in the cytosol called?

Free ribosomes.


State the function of ribosomes?

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthisis. :)


Explain the function of ribosomes and why cells need them?

The ribosomes are tiny organelles in the cell. They are made of RNA with some additional protein. Their function is to oversee the polymerisation (joining together) of amino acid molecules to form protein molecules. Ribosomes are made in the nucleus, but do their work in the cytoplasm of the cell. Ribosomes are important because proteins are important in living things, without ribosomes there would be no proteins and life would not exist.


Creates ribosomes found inside the nucleus?

In eukaryotic cells, they are formed most often in the nucleolus. In eukaryotes, the ribosomes may be classified as either 'free' or 'bound'. Free ribosomes may be found suspended in the cytosol whereas bound ribosomes are attached to endoplasmic reticulum (as such called rough endoplasmic reticulum). Free ribosomes are involved in the synthesis of proteins that will function in the cytosol while bound ribosomes in the synthesis of proteins that are to be exported or used within the cell membrane. The two types of ribosomes have similar function and structure, and in fact, are interchangeable.


Prokaryotic ribosomes function?

Prokaryotic ribosomes function to translate messenger RNA into proteins during the process of protein synthesis. They consist of a large and small subunit that come together to form a functional ribosome. Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller in size compared to eukaryotic ribosomes.
