Ribosomes

Ribosomes are cellular structures found in the cytoplasm, outside the nucleus. They play a crucial role in protein synthesis by using sequences derived from the cell's DNA to assemble amino acids in the correct order to form proteins.

Where in the cell are ribosomes primarily found?

• In the mitochondria

• Inside the nucleus

• On the cell membrane

• In the cytoplasm

What do ribosomes use to assemble amino acids?

• Sequences from the cell's DNA

• Energy from ATP

• Instructions from the nucleus

• Sequences from the cell's RNA

What is the primary role of ribosomes in the cell?

• To store genetic information

• To produce energy

• To synthesize proteins

• To transport molecules

In what order are amino acids joined together by ribosomes?

• Random order

• Alphabetical order

• Order specified by RNA sequences

• Order specified by DNA sequences

What is the end product of the process carried out by ribosomes?

• Nucleic acids

• Lipids

• Carbohydrates

• Proteins
