What is the organelle that is responsible for protein production?

The organelle responsible for protein production is the ribosome. Ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm of the cell, where they synthesize proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into amino acid sequences.


Are free ribosomes found in a cell's cytoplasm?

Yes there are free ribosomes. But many are attached to ER


How many endoplasmic reticulum does one cell exist?

A cell typically has multiple endoplasmic reticulum (ER) structures. There are two types of ER - rough ER (with ribosomes attached) and smooth ER (without ribosomes). The number of ER structures can vary based on the cell type and its function.


What does the what does the dots on the endoplasmic reticulum represents?

The dots on the endoplasmic reticulum represent ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis. The presence of ribosomes gives rise to rough endoplasmic reticulum due to their attachment to the organelle's membrane. This rough endoplasmic reticulum is specialized for the production of secretory and membrane proteins.


What does the nucleolus do inside an animal cell?

Its main function is to produce the ribosomal-Rnas that are then exported to the cytoplasmically located Endoplasmic Reticulum to form Ribosomes which basically are the base for making proteins in all Cells.Ribosomes are made [primarily] from two rRnas [ribosomal Rnas] - which are made, in a concentrated fashion, in the nucleolus: the job of the nucleolus is to produce ribosomal Rna [in and of its many forms].

How many units do ribosomes function as?

Two part units. There are two compartments.A larger one and a smaller one


What a the function of ribosomes?

Function of Ribosomes. Ribosomes are a cell structure that makes protein. Protein is needed for many cell functions such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

What is the function in the plant cell rough ER?

Rough ER is usually found near the nucleus. Ribosomes on rough ER make many of the cell's proteins.


what are ribosomes?

A ribosome is a cell organelle. It functions as a micro-machine for making proteins. Ribosomes are composed of special proteins and nucleic acids. Ribosomes are found ‘free’ in the cytoplasm or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to form rough ER. In a mammalian cell there can be as many as 10 million ribosomes.Several ribosomes can be attached to the same mRNA strand, this structure is called a polysome. Ribosomes have only a temporary existence. When they have synthesized a polypeptide, the two sub-units separate and are either re-used or broken up. Ribosomes are bound by a membrane.


Do plant and animal Cells have ribosomes?

Yes, in fact there are ribosomes in both plant and animal cells. That's right. Ribosomes are the site of synthesis of polypeptide chains; proteins are formed from polypeptide chains. Both animals and plants need proteins for many purposes, not least as enzymes. There are also ribosomes in prokaryotic cells, but these are smaller. The ribosomes in prokaryotes have a sedimentation rate of 70S (Svedberg units); eukaryotes have 80S ribosomes. They are the sites of protein synthesis, which makes them as important as other cell organelles.yes

The difference between organs and organelles?

An organ is a group of tissues joined together to perform a specific function, such as a heart, lung or kidney. This is composed of many, many cells.An organelle is a small structure found within a cell that performs a specific function. This includes ribosomes and mitochondria.


How many ribosomes are there?

It all depends on the cell. there are a lot of ribosomes though


How many types of ribosomes are there?

There are two main types of ribosomes in cells: free ribosomes, which are found floating in the cytoplasm, and bound ribosomes, which are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Both types are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.
