Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of the ribosomes? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that ribosomes are small structures found in cells.
  • Step 2: Know that ribosomes play a key role in making proteins.
  • Step 3: Learn that they do this by reading a type of genetic material called messenger RNA (mRNA).
  • Step 4: Realize that the ribosomes translate the information in mRNA into a sequence of amino acids.
  • Step 5: Understand that these amino acids then link together to form polypeptide chains, which fold into functional proteins.
