ribosome strucuture

Ribosomes are tiny but complex cell structures responsible for building proteins. They consist mainly of two parts called subunits, each made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. These subunits come together to form a functional ribosome, which reads genetic instructions from messenger RNA (mRNA). As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, it links together amino acids in the correct order to form proteins. It’s like a molecular machine that translates genetic code into biological building blocks, essential for cell function and life.
