Ribosomes
By: Emily HutchbyMain Ideas
- responsible for the synthesizing of proteins in cells
- they transfer RNA
- found in both plant and animal
- found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
- mostly found floating around cytosol
- makes proteins from amino acids
Since we already went over ribosomes in class, I already knew a bit about ribosomes. Ribosomes are the cell organelle responsible for synthesizing proteins in all cells. They make those proteins from amino acids. Unlike many cell organelles, ribosomes can be found in all cells, plant, animal, prokaryotes, and even eukaryotes. I chose this topic simply because I knew quite a lot about it already, and I found this topic quite intresting, although through this project I've learned how important ribosomes really are.

Its interesting how they are responsible for such a big part but dont really get the credit they deserve.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what would happen if our ribosomes just stopped functioning?
ReplyDeleteI think that its cool you were able to gather all this and understand it and now we can look back at this and compare it with what we learned recently with DNA to RNA and how transport DNA is actually tRNA
ReplyDeleteWhat are the effects on the body if the ribosomes don't make proteins?
ReplyDeleteGood job! I like how you explained where the ribosomes are found and what exactly they do.
