Ribosomes
are tiny organelles that link amino acids into proteins. A ribosome is found on the rough endoplasmic
reticulum of a cell there are approximately fifteen thousand in each cell. A
ribosome is about 25 nm in diameter when blown up to four hundred time scale it
is one millimeter in diameter. Ribosomes are found in both plants and animals
and in plants as well. They are found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The ribosome
is made of two main parts the binding sites on the bottom which is used to link
the acids, and the large subunit above.
