Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...
