A single mRNA molecule can have more than one ribosome translating it at a time. Another ribosome can attach and start translation before the previous one has finished. Therefore the more ribosomes there are the more proteins made from a single transcript at one time.

Why animal cells have more ribosomes than plant cell?

Much more need for proteins in animal cells. Much of plant building material is forms of glucose made by photosynthesis, so not the great need for the " workbench " on which proteins are synthesized; the ribosomes.


Where do ribosomes exist in bacteria cells?

As far as I know, pretty much everywhere. Bacteria cells don't have a nucleus, they have something in the middle, which I don't know what it is, and then lots of ribosomes scattered around....Actually, maybe they don't even have ribosomes. Sorry I can't be of more help.


What structure would be found in large numbers inside cells that are producing lots of proteins?

Cells that are producing large amounts of proteins typically contain a high number of ribosomes. These ribosomes can be free-floating in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum, forming rough ER. The presence of extensive rough ER is also common in these cells, as it plays a crucial role in synthesizing and processing proteins for secretion or use within the cell. Additionally, the Golgi apparatus may be prominent, as it modifies and packages proteins for transport.


What are three chemical processes that were used by people in early societies?

Oxidation (burning), fermentation (making beer), and denaturation of proteins (cooking) are three. There are lots more.


Where is information for protein synthesis stored?

The instructions for making proteins are all packaged within regions in our DNA (in the nucleus). When it's time to make a protein, enzymes read these instructions and make a little copy of the specific code for this specific protein, which then exits the nucleus where 'ribosomes' read these instructions and begin manufacturing the protein. Therefore, the entire set of original instructions are found in the nucleus (in DNA); but it is important to remember that there are lots of little copied segments in the cytoplasm that code for just one protein each.

A cell that produces many proteins for secretion from the cell would have large numbers of what?

ribosomes (because they make proteins). The ribosomes will usually be found associated with the endoplasmic reticulum so you'll see lots of rough ER.


How do ribosomes manufacture protein?

In cells, there are lots of little molecules called amino acids. The ribosomes "stick" the amino acids together in the right order to make proteins. They do this by reading the codon triplets on stands of RNA, which are produced in the nucleus and move out of the nuclear pores to the ribosomes.
