The nucleolus is responsible for the production of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and the assembly of ribosomal subunits but does not directly produce ribosomes in quantifiable numbers per day. Instead, it synthesizes rRNA and combines it with proteins to form ribosomal subunits, which then exit the nucleolus and the nucleus to function in protein synthesis. The exact number of ribosomal subunits produced daily can vary significantly depending on the cell type and its metabolic activity.

Help you compare a super hero tothe organelle Nucleolus?

The Nucleolus can be compared to Superman as it acts as the "powerhouse" of the cell, producing ribosomes which are essential for protein synthesis, similar to how Superman's strength and abilities make him a powerful force for good in fighting crime and saving the day. Both the Nucleolus and Superman play crucial roles in their respective worlds by providing the necessary tools for growth and protection.


How many protein molecules can one ribosome produce per second?

Ribosomes produce about 2,000 proteins per second or 173,000,000 per day. Astounding beyond all reason. Multiply that by the number of cells in the human body, and you get 1.28x10 to the 21 proteins manufactured each day. Cells also destroy the same number. They are constantly renewing and replacing their proteins.


How many bullets are produced one day?

The number of bullets produced in one day would vary depending on the size and efficiency of the manufacturing facility. A large-scale factory may produce thousands to millions of bullets per day, while a smaller operation may produce hundreds to thousands.


Would you expect a plant to produce or oxygen on a sunny or a cloudy day?

On a sunny day because there is more sun to help produce oxygen


Can you find Analogies for ribosomes using every day objects?

Ribosomes can be compared to factories because they assemble proteins from amino acids, similar to how factories assemble products from various components. Alternatively, ribosomes can be likened to 3D printers, where instructions (mRNA) are used to create a final product (protein) by adding individual components (amino acids) layer by layer.
