Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of ribosomes: Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for synthesizing proteins by translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains.

Identify the process of protein synthesis: This involves two main stages, transcription and translation. Ribosomes play a crucial role in the translation stage.

Recognize the components involved: During translation, ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide chain, which eventually folds into a functional protein.

Clarify the distinction between proteins and other biomolecules: Proteins are distinct from lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and amino acids, each having different roles and structures within the cell.

Conclude the role of ribosomes: Given their function in translation, ribosomes synthesize proteins, not lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, or amino acids themselves.
