How does the function of free ribosomes differ from the function of ribosomes attached to other organelles?
Different proteins are produced on free-floating ribosomes than on ones attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In a general sense, proteins that will be used at the ER will be produced on attached ribosomes. Proteins that are meant for secretion will be made on free-floating ribosomes.
Is the ribosome absent in a prokaryotic cell?
No, ribosomes are in prokaryote cells and doing the job of synthesizing proteins.
Why are ribosomes more in hormone producing cells than skin cells?
okay, well. Ribosomes create protein yeah? and hormones are made from protein So therefore more proteins are needed in the hormone cell then the skin cell. and least... that's my thoughts...I'm not to certain about it tho
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.
How can lots of ribosomes speed up making proteins?
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.
What part of the cell is responsible for making proteins?
There is no specific part of the cell, other than in the ribosome. The ribosome is the part that makes the protein at the end of the process known as protein synthesis. Ribosomes are actually proteins themselves, and are called rRNA, or ribosomal RNA.

Why would there be more ribosomes in a hormone producing cell than in a skin cell?
Hormone-producing cells need to synthesize a large amount of proteins, including hormones, which requires more ribosomes for protein production. Skin cells, on the other hand, may not need as many ribosomes since they primarily serve a protective function and do not need to constantly generate and secrete proteins like hormone-producing cells do.

Are there ribosomes in a cell other than on the rough endoplasmic reticulum?
yes free ribosomes in cytoplasm

Why are there more ribosomes in a hormone-producing cell than a skin cell?
Hormones are usually made out of proteins and lipids. Ribosomes make proteins. Skin is also protein. But most likely, more hormones are made in a hormone-producing cell (called an endocrine cell) in a faster turnover than a skin cell. Thus, there would need to be more ribosomes in the endocrine cell.

How are ribosomes structurally different than other organelles?
ribo
Is protein synthesis affected when a toxin destroys ribosomes?
Yes, very much so. Ribosomes in prokaryotes use a slightly different process to produce proteins than do ribosomes in eukaryotes. Fortunately, this difference presents a window of molecular attack by antibiotic drugs such as streptomycin.Unfortunately, some bacterial toxins and the polio virus also use it to enable them to attack thetranslation mechanism in our cells.
Are ribosomes bigger than mitochondrions?
Mitochondria are larger than ribosomes.70s ribosomes can be seen inside the mitochondria.So ribosomes are much smaller
