Ribosomes are the structure that synthesize proteins. They are located on the endoplasmic reticulum, which is an organelle inside the cell.

What is the small structure that makes proteins?

ribosome


What has a small granular structure that makes protein?

Ribosomes have a small granular structure and are responsible for protein synthesis in cells. They are made of RNA and proteins and can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.


What is the small structure that makes proteins in a cell?

The ribosomes are the part of the cell that are in charge of building proteins. This process is called Protein Biosynthesis. Inside ribosomes, the appropriate molecules join to form protein chains.


What does ribosomes have?

A small grain like structure in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made.


Do cells make proteins on small structures called amino acids?

The right question would be, "Do cells make proteins FROM small structures called amino acids?" The short answer is, yes. If your interested in how look up the Hierarchy of Protein Structures. Specifically: Primary Structure ie. the amino acid sequence Secondary Structure ie repeating folding patterns (which help determine function.) Tertiary Structure ie. many folds and patters create a 3-D shape. For some proteins this is the final structure to a functional protein (such as ribonuclease). Quaternary Structure ie. Most functional proteins are comprised of two or more polypeptides that each adopt a Tertiary Structure (see above) and then assemble with each other. When proteins consist of more than one polypeptide chain, they are said to have Quarternary Structure.
