Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?
  • Step 1: Ribosomes are small structures found in cells.
  • Step 2: They read the instructions from a molecule called mRNA (messenger RNA).
  • Step 3: mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA that tells how to make a protein.
  • Step 4: Ribosomes use the mRNA instructions to link together building blocks called amino acids.
  • Step 5: The linked amino acids fold into a specific shape to form a protein.
