What is the function of a cell’s ribosomes?
A
to remove wastes
B
to make food
C
to make proteins
D
to release energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ribosome is universally responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating the genetic code transcribed in mRNA into an amino acid sequence. Ribosomes use cellular accessory proteins, soluble transfer RNAs, and metabolic energy to accomplish the initiation, elongation, and termination of peptide synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the function of the ribosome? Ribosomes are the organelles that help in protein synthesis. Protein is required for many cell activities such as damage repair and other chemical processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Ribosome’s Function: Three Stages. Ribosomes help in producing new proteins by the translational process that involves three stages: initiation, elongation and termination.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribosomes Function The DNA produces mRNA by the process of DNA transcription. The mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and transported to the cytoplasm for the process of protein synthesis. The ribosomal subunits in the cytoplasm are bound around mRNA polymers. The tRNA synthesizes proteins.
