Question

Which among the given statement about ribosome is true-
a) Secretes chemical substances like enzymes and hormones.
b) Small granular structure which are responsible for protein synthesis.

Answer 1

Answer:

o acids into proteins.

Ribosomes are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. When viewed through an electron microscope, ribosomes appear either as clusters (polyribosomes) or single, tiny dots that float freely in the cytoplasm. They may be attached to the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane or the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum and the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. Electron microscopy has shown us that ribosomes, which are large complexes of protein and RNA, consist of two subunits, aptly called large and small
