The functions of ribosomes in plant cells are:
-
They take part in protein synthesis.
-
Two or more ribosomes engaged in protein synthesis on the same m-RNA strand form polyribosomes.
-
It functions as a template bringing together different components involved in protein synthesis.
-
The translation of genetic code, which involves interaction of amino acid-tRNA complex with mRNA, is co-ordinated by ribosomes.
-
They are also protective in function.
