Ribosomes are tiny cellular structures that produce proteins by translating genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA). Found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, they can float freely in the cytoplasm or attach to the endoplasmic reticulum. Proteins made by ribosomes are essential for cell growth, repair, and performing numerous biological functions.
Ribosomes are tiny cellular structures that produce proteins by linking amino acids together according to genetic instructions from mRNA. Found in the cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic reticulum, they play a vital role in cell growth and repair.
