Question

Do eukaryotic cells have ribosomes?

Answer 1

Eukaryote:

1. A eukaryote is a cell or organism with a clearly defined nucleus.
2. A nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, which includes well-defined chromosomes (bodies containing the genetic material).
3. Ribosomes are large, complex molecular machine that catalyzes protein synthesis, often known as translation.
4. The ribosome selects aminoacylated transfer RNAs (tRNAs) based on the sequence of a protein-encoding messenger RNA (mRNA) and covalently links the amino acids into a polypeptide chain.
5. According to their sedimentation coefficients, eukaryotic ribosomes comprise two unequal subunits: a small subunit (the 40S) and a big subunit (60S).
