What do ribosomes manufacture other than protein?

Solution

The ribosome is a complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that make proteins from amino acids together in the process called protein synthesis or translation. Protein synthesis is the major task performed by living cells.

Every cell needs ribosomes to manufacture proteins.

It binds to a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and reads the information contained in the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA. The transfer RNAs (tRNAs) containing amino acids enter the ribosome in a special pocket is called the acceptor site.

So basically, ribosomes manufacture just proteins in cells.
