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.
1 The subunits of the ribosome are synthesized by the nucleolus. 2  The subunits of ribosomes join together when the ribosomes attaches to the messenger RNA during the process of protein synthesis. 3  Ribosomes along with a transfer RNA molecule (tRNA), helps to translate the protein-coding genes in mRNA to proteins.ibosome Structure. 1  Ribosomes in a cell are located in two regions of the cytoplasm. 2  They are found scattered in the cytoplasm and some are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. 3  When the ribosomes are bound to the ER there are known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
