What does the Ribosome do for the cell?

Does the Ribosome use energy to complete these functions?

What is a Ribosome?

• A Ribosome is made an intercellular structure made of RNA and protein.
• It is a small structure found in the cytoplasm or it also can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

• Ribosomes use metabolic energy to complete the three stages (Initiation, elongation, and termination).

• The ribosomes function combines into three stages.
• Ribosomes help produce new proteins by the translational process (Initiation, elongation, and termination).
• They also create amino acids.

What happens if the Ribosome is malfunctioning?

• If the Ribosomes are malfunctioning or is damaged, it can cause many diseases.
• The Ribosome can have mutations in protein making and can cause malfunctions, which leads to diseases.
• Disease Examples: Bone marrow failure, anemia, Cancer risk.
• Cellular growth could also stop if a ribosome malfunctioned.

Specific cell type?

• Ribosomes are found in many cell types such as Eukaryotic and Prokaryotes.
