List two essential roles of ribosome during translation.

Solution

Ribosome plays an essential role during translation in the following two ways:
i. It acts as the site for protein synthesis. The two subunits help in the synthesis of protein, the smaller subunit forms a protein synthesizing complex with mRNA , whereas the larger subunit acts as an amino acid binding site.
ii. Ribosome acts as a catalyst for forming peptide bond.
