Ribosomes

Ribosomes

"Cells need to make proteins. These proteins might be used as enzymes or as suport of cell functions."
Info got on this website is
http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell_ribos.html

When you need protein you should think about or look for ribosomes.
They are protein builders and protein synthesizers.


The little dots they are ribosomes.
These little dots Create the Protein from these ribosomes.
They are found in many places around the cell not just one.
You even might see them floating in cytoplasm's. They will make protein ( like I said before.)
Ribosomes have more than one piece the two pieces that it has are called subunits.
When this cell needs to make protein mRNA is created in the nucleus.
Then it is sent to the cell and also the ribosomes (mRNA is sent there.)
Then when it is time to make some protein the subunits come together and combine with the mRNA.
The subunits lock to the mRNA and started to make some protein.
