Function of ribosomes ____ Function of ribosomes ____
A
Lipid synthesis Lipid preparation
B
Protein synthesis Protein preparation
C
Both
D
Carbohydrate metabolism Starch metabolism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The important ribosome function includes: It assembles amino acids to form proteins that are essential to carry out cellular functions. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of ribosomes is to synthesize proteins in the cell.
