Ribosomes are made up of _ and _.
Correct answer: C. RNA and proteins
- A. Proteins and carbohydrates
- B. RNA and lipid
- C. RNA and proteins
- D. RNA and carbohydrates
Explanation
A ribosome is an intercellular structure made up of equal amounts of both RNA and protein, hence named as 'ribonucleo-protein particles 'and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
