4. Location of ribosome’s  Ribosome’s are usually found floating in the cytoplasm.  However, attached ribosome’s are connected directly to the endoplasmic reticulum.

5. Subunits  The subunits of the ribosome’s are tRNA and mRNA.  They both are involved with protein synthesis.  Protein synthesis- the process by which amino acids are linearly arranged into proteins through the involvement of Ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, messenger RNA, and various enzymes.

6. Ribosome's facts/functions  Ribosome's are the workbenches where proteins get manufactured.  Ribosome’s are complex, beadlike structures composed of 40% protein and about 60% of ribosomal RNA.  Ribosome’s have no membranes.  Ribosome’s are organelles, or distinct parts of the cell with specific jobs to do.  One of the jobs would be making protein.

7.  The RNA contents of ribosome are changed into protein molecules.  They are also the site of the protein synthesis. Obama koolaid man!!

8. Ribosome’s: what it looks like. It is made up of proteins and has a globular shape. It looks like a bunch of tiny dots.
