Polyribosome vs. Ribosome

Polyribosomenoun

(biochemistry) A cluster of ribosomes, connected by mRNA, that collectively synthesizes protein

Ribosomenoun

A small organelle found in all cells; involved in the production of proteins by translating messenger RNA.

Ribosomenoun

an organelle in the cytoplasm of a living cell; ribosomes attach to mRNA and move down it one codon at a time and stop until tRNA brings the required amino acid; when a ribosome reaches a stop codon it falls apart and releases the completed protein molecule for use by the cell;

Ribosome

Ribosomes () are macromolecular machines, found within all living cells, that perform biological protein synthesis (mRNA translation). Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by the codons of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to form polypeptide chains.
