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

A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins). A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits).A typical eukaryotic cell ribosome consists of two subunits named 60S (large subunit) and 40S (small). A prokaryotic cell ribosome is a little smaller but it is made of two subunits, too: a 50S and 30S subunit.No, it isn't surrounded by a membrane as some other organelles are.A ribosome is a biological molecule made of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and proteins (ribosomal proteins).A ribosome is made of two pieces (subunits).

How do you describe ribosomes?

A ribosome is found within all living cells. It serves as the site of biological protein synthesis. They link amino acids. They have two major parts, the small ribosomal subunit and the large subunit.


What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?

Why does streptomycin kill the bacteria and not us?

Streptomycin binds to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein production by the bacteria. Human beings are are not affected because our ribosomes have a 40S subunit and a 60S subunit, no 30S subunit.
