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.
