The organelle responsible for protein synthesis is the ribosome. Ribosomes are found in both the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum, where they read mRNA and assemble amino acids into protein chains.
Ribosomes are small granular structures found on the endoplasmic reticulum of a cell, resembling sandpaper. They are responsible for protein synthesis, where they read mRNA transcripts to assemble amino acids into proteins according to the genetic code. The ribosomes play a critical role in building proteins that are essential for various cellular functions and processes.
mRNA goes to ribosomes in the cytoplasm where it is translated into proteins. Ribosomes read the mRNA code and assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain to form the protein.
Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein synthesis in the cell. They can be found either freely floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes read the messenger RNA (mRNA) and assemble amino acids into proteins according to the genetic code.
