The ribosome is a critical cellular structure involved in protein synthesis, the process by which cells build proteins. Its main function is to act as a molecular machine that reads the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) and uses that code to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain, which eventually folds into a functional protein. In other words, ribosomes play a central role in protein translation, where the genetic information in mRNA is translated into a specific sequence of amino acids in a protein.
Ribosomes are composed of two main subunits, aptly named the large subunit and the small subunit. These subunits work together during protein synthesis. The large subunit primarily catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids, while the small subunit helps locate the start codon on the mRNA and positions it properly for translation initiation.
In summary, the function of ribosomes in a cell is to facilitate protein synthesis, and they consist of two main subunits, the large subunit and the small subunit, that work together to ensure the accurate translation of genetic information from mRNA into proteins.
