Interesting Facts

-Ribosomes are made of ribosomal RNA and 'leftover' tRNA.

-The size of ribosomes is smaller in the cells of prokaryotes (cells that don't have a nucleus) than in the cells of eukaryotes (cells that have a nucleus). That means that eukaryote have bigger ribosomes and they get more protein.

-The protein strings are made up of amino acids, tRNA and mRNA.

-Ribosomes are considered factories for the cells because they produce food for the cell continuously like a factory.

-Ribosomes cannot enter the nucleus!

-The University of Illinois created the first artificial ribosome. It works almost as well as the original (made by our body).
