Polypeptides (chains of amino acids) are formed at ribosomes.

These polypeptides subsequently form proteins. Some proteins have a single polypeptide chain; some have more than one. "Protein" is the term for the physiologically active molecule. After leaving the ribosome, each chain must coil and fold into the appropriate shape (and, if necessary, combine with one or more other chains) before the finished protein is formed.

Is a ribosome a eukaryote or a prokaryote cell?

Actually a ribosome is a small organelle that is found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. However, the ribosome in a prokaryotic cell differs in shape compared to the ribosome in a eukaryotic cell.

Difference between prokaryotic ribosome and eukaryotic ribosome?

in prokaryotic cell ribosome is partly synthesised from nucleoid and partly from pre-exsisting ribosomes. in eukaryotic cell ribosomes are partly synthesised from nucleorar organiser region and partly from pre-exsisting ribosomes.


what is the cell found in ribosomes?

ribosomes are not cells, they are organelles that produce and synthesize proteins. get it straight!


Is a ribosome a single cell organism?

No. A ribosome is a complex of protein and RNA molecules found inside both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Its function is to translate messenger RNA into protein.

Where does ribosome assembly begin in a cell?

Ribosome assembly begins in the nucleolus of a cell.
