2.  Building & synthesizing protein  The proteins can be used by the body as support for other functions.

3.  Ribosomes are located in various areas, such as in the cytoplasm of a cell. Another common location for them would be the Endoplasmic Rectilium.

4.  Ribosomes are actually made up of two subunits.  The name of the larger side is called 60-s, while the name of the smaller is 40-s.  Protein is formed in the Ribosome when the two sides come together through an mRNA bond.

5.  Two ribosomal diseases are Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA), and gastric cancer.  DBA is caused by a malfunction in ribosome protein RBS19. It creates a low red blood cell count. This disease is extremely rare.  Gastric cancer is created due to over expression of ribosome protein LP15. This disease suppresses cell growth.

6.  Name the two subunits of a ribosome  A. 30-s, 60-s  B. 40-s, 50-s  C. 40-s, 60-s  D. 50-s, 60-s  Answer: C.

7.  Which ribosomal protein is associated with Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA)?  A. LP16  B. RBS18  C. LP15  D. RBS19  Answer: D.
