Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of ribosomes: Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.
Identify the process: The synthesis of proteins by ribosomes is known as translation, which is a key part of gene expression.
Recognize the building blocks: Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are linked together in a specific sequence determined by the mRNA.
Clarify the distinction: While nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are involved in the process of protein synthesis, ribosomes specifically synthesize proteins, not nucleic acids themselves.
Conclude the synthesis product: The biomolecule synthesized by ribosomes in all types of cells is proteins, as they are the end product of the translation process.
