Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of the ribosome during translation?
Correct Answer: Ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins.
  • Step 1: Understand that ribosomes are small structures found in cells.
  • Step 2: Know that ribosomes are responsible for making proteins.
  • Step 3: Learn that translation is the process where ribosomes help put together amino acids to form proteins.
  • Step 4: Realize that ribosomes read the instructions from messenger RNA (mRNA) to know which amino acids to use.
  • Step 5: Recognize that ribosomes link the amino acids together in the correct order to create a protein.
