Because Gamma rays can kill living cells, they are used to kill cancer cells without having to resort to difficult surgery. This is called  Radiotherapy , and works because healthy cells can repair themselves fairly well when damaged by gamma rays-but cancer cells can't. Getting the dose right is very important!
Ribosomes. Ribosomes are found in both plant and animal cells and are made in the nucleolus and transported out of the nucleus through endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are important for the process of synthesis, specifically of proteins.ough Endoplasmic Reticulum: The RER is called rough because of the ribosomes attached to it. The Rough ER is necessary to create and transport proteins throughout the cell. When the ribosomes attached to the Rough ER create proteins, the proteins are sent to the Rough ER to be chemically modified for specific uses.
When a cell needs to make proteins, it looks for ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein builders or the protein synthesizers of the cell. They are like construction guys who connect one amino acid at a time and build long chains. Ribosomes are special because they are found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.he mRNA is then sent out of the nucleus and to the ribosomes. When it is time to make the protein, the two subunits come together and combine with the mRNA. The subunits lock onto the mRNA and start the protein synthesis. The process of making proteins is quite simple.
