Question

What are the functions of Ribosomes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ribosomes have two main functions — decoding the message and the formation of peptide bonds. These two activities reside in two large ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) of unequal size, the ribosomal subunits. Each subunit is made of one or more ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and many ribosomal proteins (r-proteins).

Answer:

Ribosomes Function

The important ribosome function includes:

• It assembles amino acid to form proteins that are essential to carry out cellular functions.
• The DNA produces mRNA by the process of DNA transcription.
• The mRNA is synthesised in the nucleus and transported to the cytoplasm for the process of protein synthesis.
• The ribosomal subunits in the cytoplasm are bound around mRNA polymers. The tRNA then synthesises proteins.
• The proteins synthesised in the cytoplasm are utilised in the cytoplasm itself, the proteins synthesised by bound ribosomes are transported outside the cell.

A ribosome is a complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that produce proteins from amino acids during the process called protein synthesis or translation. The process of protein synthesis is a primary function, which is performed by all living cells.

Ribosomes are specialised cell organelles and found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Every living cell requires ribosomes for the production of proteins.
