Question

what does ribosome mean

Answer 1

formes protens

Answer 2

what does it mean? well i can tell you what it does/located. usually in the cell they are attached to the rough endoplasmic recticulum. you are right they are the site for synthesizing proteins. hope this helped.

Answer 3

i can tell you Soma means "Body" in Greek so Ribosome is a Ribo "body." Can't tell you what Ribo means or if it has any meaning at all.

Answer 4

i don't know what a ribosome means, but heres what it is, what's it made of, and were it's found

what it is:
A ribosome is a cellular organelle that synthesizes (manufactures) polypeptide chains that will become proteins, found in all life forms. They do this by "reading" a strand of mRNA and assembling the correct sequence of amino acids. In eukaryotes, ribosomes float in the cytosol of a cell or bind to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), ribbon-like structures found within the cell.

what it's made of:
Ribosomes are composed of two rRNA subunits and other catalytic proteins. They are quite small, only a few hundred nanometers across. It has been theorized that ribosomes were once independent life forms, reproducing on their own, until other chemicals such as carbohydrates and DNA were brought into the fold at a later time.

where it's found:
Ribosomes are created inside the nucleolus, which is inside the nucleus, in an animal cell. They frequently move through the endoplasmic reticulum, attaching to its walls, to get to their destinations. They are often found in the Golgi apparatus and floating freely in the cell's cytoplasm as well.

Answer 5

ribo means RNA and soma means BODY
