gamma ray. A stream of electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths shorter than those of x-rays and therefore greater energy and penetrating power.. A photon of electromagnetic radiation of very short wavelength, less than about 0.01 nanometer, and very high energy, greater than about 100,000 electron volts. Gamma rays are emitted in the decay of certain radioactive nuclei and in electron-positron annihilation. 2. A narrow beam of such photons.
The ribosomes makes proteins using coded instructions that come from the nucleus
Organelles and Their Functions. The nucleus is arguably the most important organelle in the cell. It is the control center, telling all of the other organelles what to do and when to do it. The nucleus also contains all of the cell's genetic material, or its DNA.aking proteins is a very important job for a cell. Ribosomes are small pieces of RNA found throughout the cytoplasm and on some other organelles. Their only job is to assemble proteins. DNA coding tells them which proteins to make.
