Question

What proteins are made by bound ribosomes?

Answer 1

Protein:

1. Proteins are very large molecules composed of basic units called amino acids.
2. Protein molecules are large, complex molecules formed by one or more twisted and folded strands of amino acids.

Ribosome:

1. A ribosome is a complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that produce proteins from amino acids during a process called protein synthesis or translation.
2. The ribosomal subunits come together and combine with the mRNA during protein synthesis, they bind to the mRNA and start the synthesis of proteins.
3. The process of protein synthesis is a primary function, which is performed by all living cells.
4. Ribosomes are protein machinery and are present in the cytoplasm freely as well as bound to the membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
5. Proteins, which are to be secreted out of the cell or to be incorporated into the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, or plasma membrane are translated into the membrane-bound ribosomes.
