A ribosome is a combination of nucleic acid polymers and proteins
it contains almost a million atoms
to make a model, go to the protein data bank
http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do
and download the atomic coordinates of 3HUW.pdb
download a handy molecular modelling program like KiNG:
http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/software/king.php
this will let you draw pictures and make movies of your model.
you can find a picture of the ribosome model at :

What is an analogie for ribosome?

A ribosome can be likened to a factory assembly line where proteins are made, with the mRNA as the instructions, tRNA as the workers bringing in the building blocks, and the ribosome as the machinery assembling the protein.


What is the ribosome for analogy?

How is a ribosome like house?

The ribosomes would be making lunch.


What is ribersome?

Well its not ribersome supposed to be ribosome. Ribosome is an an organelle (an internal component of a biological cell) the function of which is to assemble the twenty specific amino acid molecules to form the particular protein molecule determined by the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule.


What two things make up ribosomes and are are ribosomes surrounded by membrane like other organelles?

Ribosomes are not membrane bound, they are free cytoplasmic organelles responsible for the translation of cytoplasmic mRNA's. When a ribosome begins to synthesize proteins that are needed in some organelles, the ribosome making this protein can become "membrane-bound". In eukaryotic cells this happens in a region of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) called the "rough ER". The newly produced polypeptide chains are inserted directly into the ER by the ribosome and are then transported to their destinations. Ribosome in eukaryotes are called 80S ribosomes and consist of a small 40S subunit and a larger 60S subunit. Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes consisting of a 30S and 50S subunits. Hope this helps.

What is the job of the ribosome cell?

The ribosome is a small organelle which can be a "free" ribsome or an "attached" ribosome. The ribosome makes protein that is nessacary for the cell to carry out their processes. If a ribosome is free, then it floats around in a gelatin-like substance called cytoplasm in the cell. If a ribosome is attached, then it is located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). If their is a ribosome attached to it, then it is considered the rough endoplasmic reticululm (RER). If their is no ribosome, then it is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).


What were the first organisms appear on the Earth?

Most likely they were one celled and very small, had no organelles like a nucleus or mitochondrion or ribosome. They would have DNA but it would be in collected area. Bacteria-like is what many people have said.


How can you compare ribosome to a student?

A ribosome can be compared to a student because like a student in a school, ribosomes are essential "workers" within a cell that help assemble proteins, just as students acquire knowledge and skills in a learning environment. Both ribosomes and students play crucial roles in their respective systems by contributing to the overall functionality and growth.
