Ribosomes are made up of

Explanation

The ribosome is a complex molecule composed of ribosomal RNA molecules and proteins that functions as a protein synthesis factory in cells.

George E. Palade discovered ribosomes in 1955 and defined them as tiny cytoplasmic particles that preferentially interacted with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

A ribosome is a ribonucleoprotein, which is a compound of RNA and protein. It is made up of two subunits: small and huge.

The smaller subunit binds and decodes the mRNA, while the bigger subunit adds amino acids. Protein and ribonucleic acid are both present in both subunits.

Interactions between rRNAs in one subunit and proteins in the other subunit connect the two subunits.

Final Answer

The correct option is option C. RNA and protein.
