Biology Interview Question:

What does vacuoles do?

Submitted by: Administrator

It is an organelle, located in the cell's cytoplasm, which is the site of protein synthesis.

It is actually a protein consisting of 2 parts. These 2 "parts" clamp down on strands of messenger RNA in the cytoplasm and "translate" the information from the mRNA into proteins. They do this by aligning up the proper amino acids, as coded for by the RNA, into their proper sequence and sticking them together. This precise string of amino acids then folds into a protein.

The ribosome is far more than 2 proteins. The ribosome is composed of two subunits- a small and large. Each of these subunits is composed of many proteins and rRNA.

They are the weirdest thing ever. It is in your body and makes you walk and talk.
