What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Answer 1

Ribosomes travel along strands of mRNA and provide sites for tRNA to attach according to the codon sequence. The amino acids form peptide bonds with the end of the polypeptide strand and the ribosome continues upstream.

Answer 2

i think its when it binds the mRNA together

To put it in two sentences:

1. Ribosomes are the place where Protein Synthesis takes place.

2. In the Ribosome, the mRNA, tRNA, and Amino Acids meet to form a Protein.

3. The Ribosome is the main organizing center for Protein Synthesis.

Answer 3

The translation process takes place in the ribosome (rRNA). In the first step of translation, called initiation, the small ribosomal subunit attaches to the strand of mRNA at the 5' end. tRNA molecule with the anticodon attaches to the mRNA. The large ribosomal subunit attaches at (p) site.

Answer 4

Ribosomes are the only structure with definite size and shape in the cytoplasm. The ribosomes are the site at which amino acids are linked together to form proteins. They are the site of protein synthesis.

Answer 5

A ribosome is a cell organelle. It functions as a micro-machine for making proteins. Ribosomes are composed of special proteins and nucleic acids. A ribosome is basically a very complicated but elegant micro-machine for producing proteins. Each complete ribosome is constructed from two sub-units.
A eukaryotic ribosome is composed of nucleic acids and about 80 proteins and has a molecular mass of about 4,200,000 Da. About two-thirds of this mass is composed of ribosomal RNA and one third of about 50+ different ribosomal proteins.

Answer 6

Ribosomes are responsible for assembling amino acids into proteins based on the instructions from messenger RNA (mRNA). They have two subunits that come together to form a functional ribosome during translation. Ribosomes can be found either freely floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Answer 7

ribosome get the DNA in nucleus
