What is a small particle in a cell on which proteins are assembled made of RNA and protein?

Endoplasmic Reticulum


What two things make up ribosomes and are are ribosomes surrounded by membrane like other organelles?

Ribosomes are not membrane bound, they are free cytoplasmic organelles responsible for the translation of cytoplasmic mRNA's. When a ribosome begins to synthesize proteins that are needed in some organelles, the ribosome making this protein can become "membrane-bound". In eukaryotic cells this happens in a region of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) called the "rough ER". The newly produced polypeptide chains are inserted directly into the ER by the ribosome and are then transported to their destinations. Ribosome in eukaryotes are called 80S ribosomes and consist of a small 40S subunit and a larger 60S subunit. Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes consisting of a 30S and 50S subunits. Hope this helps.


What is a ribosome constructed of?

A ribosome is made up of two subunits, one larger and one smaller. These subunits are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The rRNA provides the structural framework for the ribosome, while the proteins support its function in protein synthesis.


What is a free ribosome?

A free ribosome is a ribosome that is not attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and is thus suspended in the cytoplasm.


Ribosome movement along the mRNA transcript is called?

Ribosome movement along the mRNA transcript is called translation. Translation is the process where the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and synthesizes a corresponding protein by linking amino acids together in the correct order.
