Here's a breakdown:
* Ribosomes are the protein synthesis machinery of the cell. They are complex structures made of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.
* mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes.
* The ribosome reads the mRNA code and uses it to assemble amino acids in the correct order, linking them together with peptide bonds.
* This process is called translation, and it's a crucial step in the production of all proteins in the cell.
