Each intact ribosome consists of a large and a small subunit made of rRNA and ____.
A) structural proteins
B) free amino acids
C) DNA
D) lipids
E) enzymatic proteins
rRNA
Ribosomal RNA, a type of RNA that combines with proteins to form ribosomes, which are essential in the process of protein synthesis in cells.
Ribosome
Organelle of protein synthesis. An intact ribosome consists of two subunits, each composed of rRNA and proteins.
Large Subunit
A component of the ribosome essential for protein synthesis, larger than the other subunit it pairs with, responsible for catalytic functions.
