In what type of cells are Ribosomes found in?
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
How many subunits are ribosomes made up out of?
2
What's the maximum amount of ribosomes found in one cell?
Ten million
What do ribosomes produce?
Proteins
Where can the 'free' ribosomes be found?
In the cytosol (part of the cytoplasm)
True or false; prokaryotic cells are larger in size and less dense than eukaryotic cells
False
True or false; a cell that needs more ribosomes breaks down more proteins.
True
What does protein synthesis start with?
Transcription
Where are ribosomes mainly located?
Attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
How would you describe the surface of a ribosome?
Rough
Why does the amount of energy vary per cell?
It depends on the size of the cell and the abundance of proteins/enzymes
After the production of protein, what is its purpose?
To help other parts of the cell to regulate proper nutrition or storage
