No. Ribosomes are not cells at all, but are organelles within cells that help to make proteins for the cell.

What is the Ribosomes found in?

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


What are proteins built inside of?

Proteins are built inside of cells by ribosomes, which are specialized cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes read the genetic information from mRNA molecules and assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains to form proteins.


What is the process by which cells create ribosomes?

The process by which cells create ribosomes is called ribosome biogenesis. It involves the assembly of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins to form functional ribosomes. This process takes place in a specialized region of the cell called the nucleolus. Ribosome biogenesis is essential for protein synthesis and cell growth.


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.


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.


Which cells contain ribosomes?

Ribosomes are present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells because they are membrane less.


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.
