Ribosomes are cell organelles found in most plant and animal cells. There are two types. 1. Free Ribosomes(not attached to eR) and 2. Bound Ribosomes(attached to endoplasmic reticulum). Their basic function is to synthesize amino acids by transcripting tRNA basically which are used to make most proteins found in the body such as enzymes,hair etc.

Ribosomes are molecular machines that make proteins out of amino acids. One of the central tenets of Biology is that DNA makes RNA, which then makes protein. The DNA sequence in genes is copied into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Ribosomes then read the information in this RNA and use it to produce proteins. Ribosomes do this by binding to a messenger RNA and using it as a template for the correct sequence of amino acids in a particular protein. The amino acids are attached to transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which enter one part of the ribosome and bind to the messenger RNA sequence. The attached amino acids are then joined together by another part of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA, "reading" its sequence and producing a chain of amino acids.

An analogy for ribosomes in a football field?

Ribosomes in a cell can be likened to the players on a football field. Just as players assemble on the field to build a winning team, ribosomes assemble to synthesize proteins, essential for the cell's functions. Both ribosomes and players are crucial components that work together to achieve a specific goal efficiently.


How do the vacuole and the ribosomes interact with each other in a cell?

Ribosomes synthesize proteins within a cell, which are then transported to the vacuole for storage or cellular processes. The vacuole can also contain ribosomes, allowing for localized protein synthesis. Overall, the vacuole and ribosomes work together to maintain cellular function by regulating protein synthesis and storage.

The organelle that anchors ribosomes is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). The Rough ER and ribosomes work very closely together. The rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is also the site of protein synthesis. The Smooth ER synthesizes lipids.
