All cells need ribosomes because that is where protein synthesis takes place. Proteins are required for enzymatic activity, cellular structures and functioning, metabolic activity, and are essential for life to occur. Even viruses, which are not considered living but organic molecules, are composed of proteins.


Ribosomes are composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins. This RNA is synthesized and ribosome assembly takes place in the nucleolus of the nucleus in eukaryotes.
Yes, all healthy animal cells contain ribosomes.

Do all cells need nucleolus?

Not all cells need a nucleolus. For example, bacterial cells do not have a nucleolus. A nucleolus is a dense body within the nucleus which is where ribosomes are formed. As viral cells do not create ribosomes, they do not need a nucleolus either...


Do cells need ribosomes?

All living cells have ribosomes. The ribosomes are the " workbench " upon which proteins are synthesized. The ribosome has catabolic RNA to aid in this task and without ribosomes I can not see proteins being made, so ribosomes are vital to all living cells.


The function of ribosomes and why cells need them?

ribosomes produce proteins.


What type of cell is ribosomes?

Ribosomes are organelles. All cells have ribosomes.


Why does a cell need ribosomes?

Ribosomes are needed to produce protein in cells.


Which cells have ribosomes?

They are in all cells. They are very important


Do all cells have to have a ribosomes?

no


Do all cells need ribsosomes?

Yes, every prokaryotes contain small bodies.


Do eukaryotic cells have ribosomes?

no. all cells have ribosomes, DNA, and a cell membrane. that is all that prokaryotic cells have. eukaryotic cells have everything else too.


Why do cancer cells have ribosomes in them?

Cancer cells, like all cells, need ribosomes to produce proteins necessary for their growth and survival. Ribosomes are essential cellular organelles that synthesize proteins by translating mRNA into amino acid sequences necessary for cell function and proliferation. Despite their dysregulated growth, cancer cells require ribosomes to support their uncontrolled division and metabolism.


Are ribosomes specialized cells?

No, ribosomes are not cells. They are cellular organelles found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that are responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are made up of RNA and protein molecules and are crucial for the functioning of all living cells.


Are ribosomes found in prokaryotic cells?

Yes, ribosomes are found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. However, prokaryotic cells have smaller ribosomes compared to eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis in all living cells.
