Ribosomes are the organelles that build proteins within the cell. Without protein, the cell could not form structural units, transport any matter between the interior and exterior, or create enzymes. As a result the cell would die.

What would happen to an animal cell if it didint have ribosomes?

It would die because it wouldn't be able to make the proteins necessary for its structure and its function.


What would happen to an animal cell if it didn't have ribosomes?

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.If they are absent it affects the protein synthesis,which indirectly effects health.Therefore victims suffer from malnutririon such as Marasmus,Kwashiorkor.


What would happen to a animal that does not ribosomes?

I'm answering this as 'What would happen to an animal that does not have ribosomes?' Ribosomes are the main site for DNA translation, where the genetic code (held in DNA) is translated into a sequence of amino acids. Three 'bases' or segments in the DNA molecule code for one amino acid. The amino acids then join together to form proteins, the building blocks of life. Therefore, if there were no ribosomes, no proteins would be produced and, therefore, the animal would quickly die. I'm not sure if there are any animals which do not have ribosomes, and have worked out another way to synthesise DNA...


What would happen if all the ribosomes in your body disappeared?

This cannot possibly happen, so asking what would happen if it did happen is an exercise in stupidity.


What would happen to the cell membrane if ribosomes are not working?

What would happen when ribosomes are absent?

the correct amino acids won't be transfered to the ribosomes and the protein synthesis would fail. PLATO says so.
