Where are the ribosomal subunits formed?

In eukaryotic cells, ribosomes have 2 subunits that are formed in the nucleus and then exit the nucleus to form the ribosome. These subunits are formed of 4 rRNA strands of which 3(5.8S,5S,28S) are produced in the nucleolus of the nucleus and 1(5S) is produced outside the nucleolus in the nucleus. The 2 subunits are formed before they exit the nucleus creating a small subunit(18s and 33proteins) and the large subunit (5S,5.8S,28S and 49proteins). These subunits exit the nucleus and when an mRNA is to be translated it attaches itself to the small subunit and the large subunit then locks into the small subunit like a cup and the process begins.


What is transcripton and translation which takes place during protein synthesis?

Information passes from DNA to mRNA is TRANSCRIPTION, and then mRNA directs the sequential assembly of Amino Acids into proteins which is TRANSLATION. RNA is Ribonucleic Acid. mRNA is Messenger RNA. rRNA is Ribosomal RNA tRNA is Transfer RNA Cells use RNA to make proteins, ribosomes are composed of large and small subunits, ribosomal RNA functions in polypetides systhesis; transfer RNA transfers amino acids to ribosome for use of building polypetides. Messenger RNA is transcribed from DNA and travels to ribosome sites to direct polypeetides assembly.

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).

What are very small organelles not bounded by a membrane and consist of a large and a small subunit?

Ribosomes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosome Although some can be membrane bound, not all are. Also, read the section on structure to see the info on the large/small subunits

What cellular structure is for manufacturing ribosomes?

# Nucleolus.


Does rDNA form ribosomes?

Yes, rDNA does form ribosomal subunits. This occurs inside the nuclear membrane at an area called the nucleolus. Two subunits are formed consisting of a small (40S) and a large (60S) subunit. These subunits are then leave the nucleus and assemble in the cytoplasm or on the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.


Does the nucleolus help the cell produce proteins?

Yes. It is the site where rRNA genes is transcribed to form rRNA. rRNA combines with proteins to form large and small ribosomal subunits. These subunits come together to form the ribosome required during the process of translation.


What are the functions of the risobomes?

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where RNA is translated into protein. When cells need large numbers of proteins, they must first build numerous ribosomes.Because protein synthesis is so important to cells, there are large numbers of ribosomes found throughout cells, often numbering in the hundreds or thousands. In eukaryote cells, three of the four ribosomal RNA strands are synthesized in the nucleolus, a structure in the nucleus. The fourth ribosomal RNA strand is synthesized outside of the nucleolus and then transported into the nucleolus for ribosomes assembly. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with the four ribosomal RNA strands to create the large and small subunits which are two ribosomal structures.The two subunits unite outside the nucleus just before the ribosome begins to manufacture proteins.Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus or nucleolus and therefore ribosomal synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. Without the ribosomes the message would not be read and proteins could not be produced.must be belived it is the real answer..Ribosome turns RNA (Ribonucleic acid) into proteinthey help the nucleus down particles in the nucleolus and it is a form of excrement from the endoplasmic retina and you must have ribosomes to live.ribosomes are involved in synthesis of protein inside a cell.the ribosome is basically the storage space for energy. in other words it releases and holds in energy for the cellThey are the structural support, and the catalyst for protein synthesis. :)

Large organic molecules that are synthesized from multiple subunits are?

Molecules that are synthesised from multiple subunits are known as polymers. The subunits are known as monomers. An example of a polymer is a protein, which is made up of amino acid subunits (monomers). A large organic molecule, usually created by polymerisation of monomers is known as a macromolecule. This includes nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
