Ribosome

n. cell organelle responsible for manufacturing proteins (Biology)

A ribosome is a small, dense, functional structure found in most known cells that assemble proteins and polypeptides used in cell division. It catalyses the assembly of individual amino acids into polypeptide chains by reading messenger RNAs and binding amino acids that are attached to transfer RNA molecules.

Noun
1. an organelle in the cytoplasm of a living cell; ribosomes attach to mRNA and move down it one codon at a time and stop until tRNA brings the required amino acid; when a ribosome reaches a stop codon it falls apart and releases the completed protein molecule for use by the cell; "the ribosome is the site of protein synthesis"
