Notes from NEET topper

Ribosomes:

  • Ribosomes are cellular structures involved in protein synthesis.
  • They can be found in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • Ribosomes consist of a large subunit and a small subunit, both composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.
  • They read mRNA (messenger RNA) and assemble amino acids into polypeptide chains.
