Question

How were ribosomes observed first by George Palade?

Answer 1

Ribosomes:

1. Using an electron microscope, Romanian-American cell biologist George Emil Palade discovered ribosomes as dense particles or granules in the mid-1950s.
2. Ribosomes, which are made up of ribonucleic acids and proteins, are known as protein factories because they are the primary site of protein synthesis.
3. Ribosomes are cell organelles that produce proteins from the genetic information encoded in nucleic acids.
4. This process is always carried out within the cell's cytoplasm.
