Answers (1)

The ribosome is a complex structure made up of ribonucleoproteins. It consists of two subunits i.e. a larger subunit and a smaller subunit. The essential roles of ribosomes during translation are as follows:

1. Ribosome acts as the site of protein synthesis. The larger subunit of ribosome act as an amino acid binding site while small subunit attaches to the mRNA. 

2. Ribosome acts as a catalyst for forming peptide bonds.
