Yes, liver cells, or hepatocytes, contain a significant number of ribosomes. These ribosomes are essential for synthesizing proteins, including enzymes involved in metabolism, detoxification, and other crucial liver functions. The high ribosome count reflects the liver's role in producing various proteins necessary for maintaining homeostasis and responding to metabolic demands.

In what types of cells do you find large numbers of ribosomes?

You find large numbers of ribosomes in cells that are actively synthesizing proteins, such as in cells that produce a lot of enzymes or structural proteins. These include cells in the pancreas, liver, and muscle cells.


What would not be found in one of your liver cells a. mitochondria b.ER c.peroxisomes d. a central vacuole e. ribosomes?

One thing that would not be found in a liver cell is a central vacuole. Vacuoles are typically found in plant cells, not animal cells like liver cells. Liver cells would contain other organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, and ribosomes.


What is the Ribosomes found in?

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


What organelles are found in organisms?

Not a whole lot, these cells do not even have a nucleus. They do, however, have ribosomes.


How are ribosomes like the liver in the human body?

ribosome are like the liver and pancreas because both make substance like ribosomes


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.


Which organelle do you think liver cells have a lot of?

Mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum


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 organelles do liver cells have?

Hepatocyte's have mitochondria, ribosomes, Golgi bodies, endoplasmic reticulum (rough and smooth,) glycogen, lysosomes, nucleus and nucleolus. I think.
