Skin cells on the surface are dead and therefore do not contain any functional organelles. The hypodermal layer (the layer beneath the visible skin) has active cells and contains ribosomes.

Why are ribosomes more in hormone producing cells than skin cells?

okay, well. Ribosomes create protein yeah? and hormones are made from protein So therefore more proteins are needed in the hormone cell then the skin cell. and least... that's my thoughts...I'm not to certain about it tho


What is the Ribosomes found in?

Cells are not found in ribosomes. Ribosomes are found in (eukaryotic) cells.


Why would there be more ribosomes in a hormone producing cell than in a skin cell?

Hormone-producing cells need to synthesize a large amount of proteins, including hormones, which requires more ribosomes for protein production. Skin cells, on the other hand, may not need as many ribosomes since they primarily serve a protective function and do not need to constantly generate and secrete proteins like hormone-producing cells do.


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.


What is a function of a ribosomes in cells?

The function of the ribosomes in cells is to make proteins. Ribosomes are made up of proteins and RNA.


Are ribosomes in animal cells or plant?

Ribosomes are in both plant and animal cells.


Is the Ribosomes?

The terms eukaryotic and prokaryotic only apply to cells - ribosomes themselves aren't cells. Ribosomes are parts of cells, which can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.


Contains hereditary material?

There are many body tissues that contain hereditary material. These tissues include skin cells as well as red blood cells.


What type of cell is ribosomes?

Ribosomes are organelles. All cells have ribosomes.


What does the cells ribosomes do in the plant cell?

The ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.


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.


Do all cells have ribsomes?

No, not all cells have ribosomes. Ribosomes are only found in cells that are actively involved in protein synthesis, such as bacterial cells, plant cells, and animal cells. Red blood cells, for example, do not have ribosomes.
