The ribosomes in bacterial cells do the same job as ribosomes in human and animal cells; they are "sites of translation (protein synthesis)".

Is ribosomes a bacteria?

Ribosomes are not bacteria. They are microscopic structures containing proteins and strands of RNA. They are located within the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells.


Where do ribosomes exist in bacteria cells?

As far as I know, pretty much everywhere. Bacteria cells don't have a nucleus, they have something in the middle, which I don't know what it is, and then lots of ribosomes scattered around....Actually, maybe they don't even have ribosomes. Sorry I can't be of more help.

What kind of cell you find ribosome?

Ribosomes are found in every cell... Plant cells, Animal cells, and Bacteria cells.


Are ribosomes located in bacteria fungi protists plant and animal cells?

Yes! Ribosomes occur in the cytoplasm of all cells, prokaryotic ( the cells of bacteria) and eukaryotic (cells of animals, plants, and fungi). They occur in mitochondria and chloroplasts, too. The ribosomes of prokaryotic cells are distinctly smaller than those in eukaryotes. Interestingly, the ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts are similar in size to those of prokaryotes, and this is just one of the items of evidence that support the theory that these two organelles evolved from free-living prokaryotic ancestors.


Do bacterial cells have ribosomes?

YES! Bacteria do have ribosomes. The ribosomes take about 30% of the whole bacterium's weight. Approximately 10,000 ribosomes are in one bacterium cell.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Does_bacteria_have_ribosomes#ixzz1MqAdy79v


Are ribosomes a membrane covered organelle?

No, they are not. Neither prokaryotes like bacteria nor eukaryotes (like our cells) have membrane bound ribosomes.


What is represented by the small dots found in each of the bacteria cells?

The small dots found in bacteria cells often represent ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins, playing a crucial role in the cell's metabolic processes. In prokaryotic cells like bacteria, these ribosomes are scattered throughout the cytoplasm and can also be associated with the cell membrane.


What are the sites of protein synthesis in cells?

Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes of cells. In eukaryotic cells, this process mainly takes place in the cytoplasm, while in prokaryotic cells like bacteria, it occurs in the cytoplasm as well. Additionally, in eukaryotic cells, proteins that are destined for secretion or for membranes are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.


Even though the bacteria don't have any DNA but they can do replication process how can it possible?

Bacteria do have DNA. Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, meaning they are fully functional cells (have DNA, RNA, ribosomes, cytoplasm). They just do not have a nucleus to house their like eukaryotic cells.


Is the ribosome a plant structure or animal structure?

The ribosome is not specific to plants or animals; it is a universal cellular structure found in all living organisms. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis in cells by translating mRNA into amino acids to build proteins.
