What does «ribosoma» mean in Spanish?
- Macromolecular machine found inside all living cells that performs biological protein synthesis (mRNA translation). Ribosomes are found in all living cells, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A ribosome is a mixture of protein and RNA that begins to be made in the nucleolus of a cell. The nucleolus is located in the center of the nucleus. The nucleus is protected by the nuclear envelope and lets things out through the nuclear pores.
