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.
The ribosomes link amino acids together in the order that is specified by the messenger RNA molecules. The ribosomes are made up of two subunits-a small and a large subunit. The small subunit reads the mRNA while the large subunit joins the amino acids to form a chain of polypeptides.lant cell do have ribosomes and they are composed of proteins and ribosomal RNA. The ribosomes in a plant cell are found in the cytoplasm, the surface of the rough e ndoplasmic reticulum, the mitochondria and on chloroplasts. There are two types of ribosomes-free ribsomes and attached ribosomes.
