The low status of smell in Western culture is reflected in our language: colloquial terms for ânoseâ, for example, are almost all derogatory, or at the very least disrespectful (schnozzle, conk, hooter, snoot, snout, etc.) â and large or distinctive noses are considered ugly.
Ribosomes are organelles composed of ribosomal proteins (riboproteins) and ribonucleic acids (ribonucleoproteins). The word ribosome is made from taking â ribo â from ribonucleic acid and adding it to â soma â, the latin word for body. Ribosomes are bound by a membrane but they are not membranous.
They help initiate the process. Ribosomes: They are dense, sperical, granular structures made up of RNA (Ribo Nucliec Acid) and protein. They help to break down protien. Endoplasmic Reticulum: They are fluid filled tubules or vesicles that are found throughout the cytoplasm. They are of two types- 1. Rough, with ribosomes attached; they synthesize proteins. 2. Smooth, with no ribosome; they synthesize lipids (fats).
