Photo by: krishnacreations. The ribosome is the molecular machine inside the cell that makes proteins from amino acids in the process called translation. It binds to a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and reads the information contained in the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) containing amino acids enter the ribosome in a special pocket, or binding site, called the acceptor site (A site).Once correctly bound, the ribosome can add the amino acid on the tRNA to the growing protein chain.tructure. The ribosome is made up of two parts, called subunits. The larger of the two subunits is where the amino acids get added to the growing protein chain. The small subunit is where the mRNA binds and is decoded.
Your doctor might call your tailbone by its medical name, coccyx. The word comes from the Greek term for âcuckoo,â and was named because the coccyx looks a lot like the beak of the bird. Pain in your coccyx is called coccydynia. Advertisement.
These muscles attaching to the tailbone include the following: 1  Gluteus Maximus muscle: This is the largest of the gluteal (buttock) muscles. Very important for standing and walking. 2  Levator Ani muscle: This muscle is important for holding in place the anus (where stool, bowel movements exit the body).
