Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following describes a role that ribosomes assume in the production of proteins?
A
Transports nutrients from inside the cell to the cell membrane to be used in making proteins.
B
Produces energy for the cell to use during protein synthesis.
C
Translates mRNA into a specific amino acid chain.
D
Rids the cell of leftover amino acids once the proteins have been synthesized.
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: -Answer and Explanation: The type of RNA found in the ribosome that guides the translation of mRNA into a protein is known as rRNA. rRNA or ribosomal RNA is the site of translation in protein synthesis where mRNA is translated into a primary chain of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -During translation, ribosomal subunits assemble together like a sandwich on the strand of mRNA, where they proceed to attract tRNA molecules tethered to amino acids (circles). A long chain of amino acids emerges as the ribosome decodes the mRNA sequence into a polypeptide, or a new protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized protein.
