Question

What is the difference between rRNA and ribosomes?

Answer 1

rRNA:

1. The normal, abbreviated form of ribosomal RNA is rRNA.
2. It is a nucleic acid that is made up of ribonucleotides.
3. The ribosome contains rRNA, thus the term ribosomal RNA.

Ribosomes:

1. Ribosomes, with a diameter of roughly 20 nanometers, are among the smallest organelles in a cell.
2. Despite its tiny size in comparison to other organelles, it contains complex and massive molecules of RNA and proteins that play critical functions in the protein production process.

The difference between rRNA and ribosomes:

rRNA	Ribosomes
1. The ribosome's RNA component is known as rRNA.	1. Ribosomes are tiny organelles found in live cells.
2. It is a nucleic acid.	2. It is a cell organelle.
3. Ribonucleotides are the primary building blocks of rRNA.	3. Ribosomes are made up of rRNA and proteins.
4. Its role is to read the mRNA sequence's codon order and connect the amino acids accordingly.	4. Its role is to handle overall protein production.
5. It can be used to store genetic data.	5. It cannot be utilized to safeguard genetic information.
